Impatient - yes, it worked well as an ice breaker (who can tell I've facilitated groups before?! :P) because everyone is nervous about it and everyone feels stupid about it, and it connects us each to the core of the matter without us knowing we're doing it - bypassing all the adult walls we all have up.

Zooropa - I want to say there were 9 people plus T. Many there had a hard time identifying where they are stuck (course, that's why we're all there lol because we *are stuck* and we all either don't know why or can see a way out if we do know why. For those who know Meyers Brigg, I'm an INTJ so I tend to spend a lot of time self-reflecting and analyzing so I knew right where to go and was firm in my dual position.

As much as I ahve been feeling like I need something like this, I am already finding day two (tomorrow) to be toooooooooo sooooooooon!!! heh. Thus the intensive part. But I can say I have star stickers on my goal chart The analyzing part is already kicking up and I've given myself half stars (for eating chocolate, but it is gluten free and dairy free; things like that). Tonight I can'd decide if I get one or not... I ate chicken (star) and also half a chocolate bar, 3 chocolate chip cookies (gluten/dairy free), and some chocolate almond milk. Trying to be strict with my medical diet ends up rebounding. *sigh*. Having triggers really doesn't help, and there were lots today.

Thanks Tree, Googley, Sanah for the encouragement!
