Another great nugget to ponder and apply. Recovery Momentum and pattern recognition is vital…….. and,
yep it’s a challenge, but oh so enlightening. This is the kind of Therapy/ Therapist I would want. One that would show me this type of action and then cheer for me as I continue and complete my recovery .
Once again Drew you always manage to make me stop and think. . . . . . . . I have always carried water with me for years not because it makes me feel better, but becuase I have sinus issues and I am a waterholic HA! Since learning recovery techniques, I have tuned into myself more monitoring what I do when I feel anxious, am I dwelling, am I distracting myself by phone calls, podcasts or radios etc. I would have to say, no. What I do is accept and allow the feelings and sensations to come over me and get comfortable feeling them when I am doing life. Not always easy but I REFUSE to live life full of fear. Too many people depend on me for help, husband with cancer, aging parents, adult daughters one of which is getting married in a few short months. For me it all comes down to pulling myself up by my boots straps, (as Poppie would say) and just doing and moving forward. It wasn't easy to get to this point but once I realized I am doing this to myself, and began working techniques and relaxing it does get easier. Praise God I am not where I was and every day I keep working toward where I want to be. As always, Love you Big Guy!
So relatable. I'm at a point in my recovery where I am scared of setbacks because I'm doing great (stage 4 of recovery, if I recall?). So... yeah. My OK-ness is kind of conditional. And I'm aware of it. I need to go on with my exposures. I am afraid but I know I can do this and reclaim my unconditional OK-ness. Thank you so much Drew. Merci!
I love that you said humans are OK if the temp is below 110. I am doing so well in my recovery but i hate being hot. I live in the UK and we don't have air con so sometimes u cant escape it for weeks on end in the summer. Feeling hot really triggers panic for me. Is it true that we are OK under 110? I see all these articles about heat stroke etc and it really doesn't make me feel safe being hot x
Another interestingly helpful way to WORK on recovery.
Thanks Drew,
