This article explains so much better than I can at the moment. I am in a phase where just try to put one though with another seems impossible. It is something call chemo - brain. Goes and come back. It is what it is, I accepted it. Then I make the decision to participate in your post even though I am having chemo - brain.

How does someone with automatic survival skills of dissociation learn to do this? Grounding is one skill that can help.[[/I]

@hope2010... Seeing you here made me eyes leak a little bit. With joy.

Thank you for challenging the chemo brain and sharing these awesome articles!! This, too, makes so much sense.

I think what is being revealed to me recently is just how crappy my therapy experiences have been in the past. I am so incredibly grateful to have a qualified and compassionate "team" of professionals helping me now...and to have made connections with you guys.
