oh (((((((((((WePow))))))))))))))

I hate when I need T and he's not there. It FEELS like he's being mean and ignoring me, but the reality is that he has been with another client, hasn't checked his messages, is out of town for the weekend, etc. etc. etc. etc. Even though my logical, grown-up mind knows that's probably what's going on when he doesn't respond right away, it SO triggers my ginormous trust issues.

What helps you get grounded? The best thing I can do for myself (although it's hard to make myself do it when I'm triggered) is to walk outside for a minute. Getting out of the four walls I'm in helps me remember that the world is so much bigger than whatever it was that triggered me.

If I'm having a really hard time staying present, I try to name 5 things that I can see, hear, smell, touch. I run cool water over my hands. I turn on the TV or radio (I know you're at work, so that one might be tricky).

What happened? Do you want to share it here while you're waiting for T?
