It involves mindfulness. We also talked about what the meaning of "love" is, which was so helpful. (There was no poodle in my video; I felt a bit cheated  )
Then there's a second part to the video, which we'll watch next time. That one has actual exercises you can do. I like that.
But I was so warm in the therapy office! M. kept saying "it finally warmed up in here!" and I was thinking, Geez, you must be one of those old ladies who keeps her house at 80 degrees.

Yay! I know you were a bit worried about this. I’m glad it turned out to be all good.  Aww, no poodle 🐩  😂
