I hope that all goes well for you tomorrow...I will be thinking of you. I also am a very tactile person, so I like to plant my feet firmly on the ground while thinking of how very planted to the earth I am. I also have a special place I go to(i know sounds cliche but it works)when I close my eyes and do deep breathing where I am safe and I imagine I am hugging a big furry Malamute, which helps.

I also like the movie idea, and the games. The license plate or alphabet game would be good because you would be able to focus on the PRESENT and not dissociate. I hope this helps, because I am still new to learning how to be in the Present too; i dissociate a lot.

Something that may help, I haven't quite believed it yet, but my T keeps saying it to me and I am trying to believe it : "The pain you feel now will never be as bad as when you had it first happen to you. Yes it is still horrible and bad remembering it when it comes up, but you DID make it through and you are here now to talk about it. Just remember you made it through the first time, and you can again"

Or something like that. my hugs to you during this time
