Working through The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety

My therapist recommended The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety to me:

amazon.com/gp/product/16262...

I got the book and I'm about 9 chapters into it. It is this workbook that finally convinced me that I do have OCD. I was forced to take an honest look at how I deal with anxiety and how it is getting in my way of living the type of life that I want. There is such a big gap between what I want to do and what I tell myself it is possible to do. There are many efforts that I just let my anxiety shut down.

In an ideal world I could see my therapist for many hours each week and have the time to talk about all of the activities and what I've gotten out of each chapter. Or maybe I could talk to my wife about these things instead. Neither of these seem to be happening right now, but I still want to make progress getting through the book and talking about how to live a full life that follows my values.

Is anyone interested in working through the workbook with me? We can start topics on the forum for each chapter as we work our way through.
