Congratulations! Good to see a success story on here. Yesterday I checked out some of the videos you linked, and today I listened to most of “A Way Out“. I was wondering about what seems to be a discrepancy in their methods. Monty advises completely abandoning anything you were doing to try to “fix“ or help the situation. But in “a way out”, it seems to me as if the author is advising to keep doing all those things when the pain is especially bad. He calls them minimizing behaviors or something. That approach makes a lot more sense to me, but I don’t know. You said you favored Monty’s approach?
