So I am in this group therapy/ yoga class and yes I brought Benedict the Armadillo. At first i hid him behind my back - and you know? He's really warm! I had my own lil space heater in there -no joke! Then as we had to talk about the time since last session (2 weeks in this case) I chose to speak first (and really a first for me) and said that T was out of the country, that I was not doing well, that I had gone back to poor coping habits - and that yes, I am dragging an armadillo along everywhere lol and showed him. Then hid him again. The T asked "can we see that again?" So it was like show and tell heh. I wasn't sure I'd tell everyone, but it would be odd to have him sitting on my yoga mat with me lol - even tho I am the youngest in there, I'm still in my 30's and Benedict isn't exactly small.
This is the first class of these that I haven't completely dissociated and had a panic attack. Go Bene!!!
