THIS!!! I have told her a few times that it all makes sense and works wonderful when I am calm and at baseline. When I disasociate or having an anxiety attack. I am unable to switch my brain and think about the techniques.. It seems that if we are able think and process things and then pick something else if it fails, then I am pretty damn present and able to function.
