I found this video by Jason Stephenson actually worked for me. I liked the sound of his voice.

Hope you're doing okay. Panic attacks can be so scary. Sometimes it used to help me when I'd stick my hands in a bowl of ice to bring my body's attention somewhere else.

Reminds me of my daughter and queso dip every time we go out for Mexican food! Plus, less calories.

If there were any condiment I'd eat alone, it would probably be mustard! "Alone" meaning without a pretzel. But, I'd eat it in a room by myself, too. Ha!

Hi Couch.

I've had a longggggg, tough day.

I've been crying in bathrooms, filled with intense anxiety, and really really want to go home.

I just got back from the house the day before and had a whole week to be told that I was rubbish, a mistake and sworn at amongst other things. I wanted him to be softer and more gentle- but i felt like I was being attacked, my child parts shut down and I find it hard to talk because I can't.

The look at what i'm offering sounded just like something my father would say. I'd still have to pay for the session on the 31st and he earns some extra spending money. I'm not against T's going on holidays but i wanted a plan in place. I brought up email contact at an arranged time, we talked about it but he never agreed to it. He was the one who said I was special and had oh so much value and that I mattered , I feel like he twisted that around too.
This all made me uneasy. R is usually one of my favorite PC T's, but he seemed defensive and wanting to justify himself in this session, more than listening hard & imaginatively. And it makes perfect sense you would want him to provide a refuge after a tough week at home, and before he goes away.

That's such a forlorn image. So sad. Hope the anxiety passes.

Yes, my sister made the band tied around it and also machine-embroidered my initials on the brim! I love it.

Feeling very forlorn today. I don't want to be me anymore. T said to call him before I decide to drive off into the woods this weekend but I don't know if I want to. I'm such a bother.
