Funny that you put it that way, ShortE, I sort of wailed at Falls last night that "I was sad and lonely and needed a mommy."
Wednesday I had a huge triggering incident and I let go completely in my therapist's office. It didn't last long, but as I quieted down, he said, "how are you calming yourself right now?" My answer was "air. Just air. Just breathing." I believe in the power of deep breaths but I'm a shallow breather. So I've trained myself that every time I look at a clock, I take a deep breath. I'm sure people think I'm absolutely nuts. :)
