Hi Kashley, Nice to hear from you!

(((KASHLEY)))

Great to see you! How are things going? How is your new T?

Wow.. Thanks for all the hugs, everyone.

I had knee surgery a few weeks ago and am still in the midst of a lot of pain from that.. My mother moved in and it's the busiest time of year at work, so a lot has been going on lately. Things are going OK with new T. I had a three week break between sessions with her following my surgery, during which I thought SERIOUSLY about never calling her again. I talked about it with her last week, and it ended up being a good session. She was quite willing to reassure me that she doesn't want to pressure me at all and that all she wants is for her office to be a safe place where I can feel cared for.

She's a body based therapist specializing in childhood trauma, so she has a lot of skills at hand. Namely, she gets me to focus on my breathing a lot, which I now know is shallow 24/7. But when I'm there, she helps me loosen my chest a bit with some breathing exercises and I consistently leave with a noticeable release in my chest and a sense of relaxation that I'm not used to. Even if the session was very hard emotionally, she's very good about getting me back to a completely grounded place before I leave. So I'm starting to feel safe in her care, which is quite a nice thing.

Anyway, I need to run.. Thank you for all the overwhelming support. Maybe I canbe around more than I expect, but I don't see it happening at the moment.

Hi Kashley,
If you can't be around here right now, we'll be here when you come back, ready to give you another warm welcome back!

Hey!! thinking of everyone here too! Wish I could be on more often. I tend to disappear and reappear quite a bit ho hum. Anyhow, hope you're doing well Kash and everyone else as well!

Thanks, everyone. Big hugs to you, Diva.

((kashley)) hope the busy season (I know!!) is treating you gently at work... been thinking of you and glad to see you pop back in.
