I have been into DMB for a long time, they are the best. The songs just have the ability to move me. As a side note the TTL program is amazing. I will not lie it takes work but do you not think we all deserve it. Keep going and you will be where I am at in no time. Take care, Brian

Psychotherapy vs. Tools. I'd like to hear comments on both in relation to each other, as well as comments on how beneficial it would be to do both along side each other. Thanks!

In my personal opinion Psychotherapy is great if you want to talk about your past without the therapist recommending any insight into what happened.  Just having some body listen to all my fears, worries, things I have been upset about in the past was enough for me to feel like I had healed some of those things. (if you want some feedback and insight then I'd recommend a psychologist)

 

However after a period of time, I felt that I needed to stop talking about the past and move into the future by taking action. This is where Tools comes in. 

 

Tools is also great because it is based on a lot of cognitive therapy which is training the brain to think more positive and therefore allowing the person to take positive action.

 

I think if you have things in your past that you need to get out of your system, then Psychotherapy would be great to do first. (however some people can go for years which personally I don't agree with as it can create a reliance on the psychotherapist) Then when you feel that you have discussed these things and want to start talking action in your life, then stop with Psychotherapy and start on Tools. 

 

I hope I've provided some help.  I'm not the best at explaining myself. 

 

Best of luck.

What is your answer?

I joined TOOLS because:
 I was in a rut in life and was tired of fearing what was to come each day. Was I going to be alone all day? Would I have enough personal motivation to go to the gym? cook? clean? Was I going to contact people hoping they'll have time for me so I don't have to be alone all day? I'm tired of that, so that's why I joined TOOLS. :)
You are offered your dream job. What job is it?:
 hmm..I'm still figuring this one out, but if we're going to create an idealistic (perhaps naive) dream job...here we go. Well I'd like to help people out. Perhaps a director of a youth shelter or women's shelter. In Canada or in Latin America. Yeah, that's my dream job.
My favorite wild animal is:
 Maybe its just the Telus commercials right now....actually it is just because of the Telus commercials, tht I love hippopotamuses!! :) Yeah, just watched it...too cute!
Why (describe as much as possible):
 oh..just said so above.
My favorite domestic animal is (if you choose dog be specific with breed etc):
 Cats
Why:
 They are loving and want to be petted. When they don't want to be loved, they are independent. They're low maintenance too. Plus they don't yap like little dogs. No offense.
A famous Chef will prepare anything you want. What do you order:
 An enormous spinich salad with the works (excluding meat). Then I'll have either a salmon dish or a ribs dish. Great wine too.
Why:
 It'll be healthy, flavourful and because it makes me salivate when I think about it.
Five people either dead or alive you would have at your fantasy dinner party::
 hmm...this one's hard. This one's bound to change based on the mood I want. So the mood I would like is intellectual, yet humourous. So I would like Barack and Michelle Obama, Tina Fey, a love interest of mine, and a girlfriend.
Why:
 I would enjoy having a witty conversation as well as a discussion regarding important issues of our time. I would regard everyone there as intelligent and would hopefully leave inspired. My lover and friend would make the night homey and comfortable.
If a pilot would fly you anywhere you want, you would go to:
 Nepal
My perfect slice of pizza is:
 chicken,spinach and goat cheese :)
You are at a bar. You order this drink:
 Hypnotiq on the rocks
You are at a coffee shop. What coffee or tea do you order:
 well I don't drink coffee and only drink tea if feel the social need to drink something, so I go with Green Tea. It may as well be good for me.
If a genie could grant you three wishes they would be (separate by commas):
 1) Enough money to get and do anything I want including buying things for my family and friends, as well as to start my own non-profit organization. 2) Give my mother perfect English speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. 3) All people would be allowed their basic human rights with real support provided when needed.
You are going on a long road trip and you can only bring three CD's. Which ones do you bring (separate by commas):
 Cage the Elephant "Cage the Elephant", Dave Matthews Band "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King", and Dixie Chicks "Taking the Long Way"
If I could do anything for my neighborhood today, it would be:
 To run a youth program. Get the kids of the streets, doing something they love. Start to build their future.
A sunset I remember:
 It was the day after my last exam at the end of first year. I stayed up all night with my boyfriend and friends. My boyfriend and I watched the sunset come up while sitting on the rocks near the lake after we had talked for hours. I realized I loved him that morning.
Any character I could be from a movie, TV show or book would be:
 Beatrix Kiddo in the Kill Bill movies. She's kick ass!
Why:
 like I said, she's kick ass!
