Thankyou verity81 and kamaya.
I do use my tablet as distraction generally, and am currently going it alone, without therapy. This took me by surprise though, and reminded me of past experiences.
I like the idea of clay modelling, though I'll probably try play doh.
I'll see how the next few weeks go at work, as there are a few potentially tricky meetings coming up, and sitting on reactions is v. difficult.
Thanks also for the work ethic bit.
Should feel good I guess.
