Hi emwell!

Checking in with you on where you are at. I'm totally impressed that not only have you coloured your hair but also shaved off the fur! I don't have a tub where I live so the whole leg shaving thing for me is amusing to attempt in my tiny stall.

Let's see what we've covered so far..... the bathroom itself isn't triggering, changing clothes doesn't leave you feeling vulnerable because you only have to be half naked at a time, and you expressed that you have discomfort regarding your bosom. Am I correct so far?

You also were gonna think about what helps you to feel safe. Did you put your thinking cap on during this time?

Last week I managed to shower 'enough' but didn't manage to get much done. I'll still chalk it up as progress!!

I've really been thinking about this a bunch trying to remember how I've become more comofortable with my body and being naked over the years. It certainly wasn't easy and it isn't as if I don't still have issues here and there that pop up. Again with that non linear path of healing.

Please keep posting if you are able as I think this thread is helpful for more ppl than just the two of us 'less than sparkling clean' gals!! lol
