Hi Geoff Well done for not getting disheartened when the confidence suddenly vanished. It happens to most people, and the trick is to do just what you did. You fell of the proverbial bicycle, and got back on to ride like hell! And it worked! You had a mammoth GE (not always to be recommended, but it worked for you) and came away with lots of successes. I trust you entered them all in your diary with smiley faces you can look back on for some positive reinforcement. Perhaps now you see why we recommended you (and all the others) attend another workshop. After initial success, often a lack of confidence creeps back in (whispers from your BM) and another workshop builds on the success of the last one, so you soar away again. Thanks for posting your experiences. I hope it encourages others to keep up the Graduated Exposure and keep ticking off those successes. All power to you! Hope to see you at another workshop. Best regards to you and all those from the recent workshop. Colin
