Hey Purple!
I'm actually doing okay the last few days. I thought this would be a good thing to ask here.
(But then, I thought commenting on meatloaf was a good idea -- so there you go.
)
It's always good to see you around.

I'm about halfway through the book, and I'm really impressed! She has very interesting things to say about the 'exposure' model. In essence, she seems to think it can do more harm than good, as it adds to the stress.
If we're forcing ourselves to do things, and feel physically wretched afterwards, that is going to make us want to avoid the situation even more.
She has an ingenious (and gentle) alternative. It might be worth taking a look.

Oh that sounds interesting. Thank you, I'll take a look.
And since I'll still have to expose myself to life at least a little, I can work on the other and do A/B testing on the two methods.
I hope you're doing alright.
