Wow! Never heard of this bag theory, but get it. So my question is what do those of us with empty bags do? Is this why maybe our people choices/selections (friends, boyfriends, relationships) is off/askew?

Hi @marjou,

I suppose this bag theory could have an impact on who we pick for our closest relationships. So what do we do with these empty bags? I have found that cognitive behavior therapy worked well for me. David Burns wrote a lot of books/workbooks on this idea of changing our thoughts.

Has anyone worked with cognitive behavior therapy as a way of changing/filling the contents of our bags?
