On Friday the weather is heating up ( close to 100’F) so I a as m hoping to be well enough to get to the beach. Screaming underwater always helps with stress.

Hey there, Wander!
I do recall you often have GI distress when you are experiencing PTSD and/or are processing this in some way. There has been a pattern. Just be careful to know when you might need a work-up.
Do you have any access to massage or any other type of bodywork?
You may be able to release some of your pain through bodywork..
there are many theories about the idea that trauma memories are held within our bodies.
A few of my acquaintances work on bodies. I asked each of them if they see any change in the emotional status with their clients when they are being actively doing bodywork? They each report having clients suddenly start crying, and/or suddenly start laughing, etc.
At few of the trauma experts are convinced bodywork is essential. Some prominent researchers are so convinced of this mind-body connectiion, they
offer suggestions in their books re: bodywork. One has offered a specific sequence/program of yoga.
I am curious as to whether your health care program might cover the expenses of some type of bodywork for you?
Much Love to You!
