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?

@hopeful33250 This bag theory is something I've never heard of before in my cognitive behavior therapy but will mention it to my therapist. It does make sense to me. My take is this I don't have the skills to fill the grocery bag but have the negative experiences. What does one do with that "unbalance" in life. Lately I've been thinking that I need to work with a therapist who deals with trauma to get past it and into a better life.
