Can you take a moment and get grounded right where you are? Sometimes I get SO lost in my spirally thoughts and it just feels worse and worse and worse and like there's no way out.

If I can get still enough to listen and name 5 things I can hear, it slows me down just a little bit. Right now I hear my fingers on the keyboard, my husband chewing gum, cars far away, the fridge humming, my dog sighing. I can feel my breath going in and out and the air from the ceiling fan.

Having a hard session doesn't change your own, special, basic goodness.
