Doing the exposure work allows you to develop your coping skills in controlled situations. Therefore, when you are confronted with an unexpected situation (no control, so to speak), then you can take out what you need from your bag of tricks of previously successfully used skills. Make sense?
Keep working on it. Sounds like you have been doing great so far!! Keep those successes in the front of your mind.
I like Davit's advice. As humans, we tend to be too hard on ourselves it seems all too often. You did a great thing for a friend while facing your fears- awesome! What an accomplishment! I'm proud of you!
Hello Kevin and welcome to the program! There is clearly lots of great advice and support for you here in our community. I would add that if it is to your liking, you can do the activitites (which are recommended) and there is a link to email your results to your doctor. Optional of course, but it might be a great tool to mark and share your progress.
I recommend talking to your doctor. Gravol does make you drowsy and there might be a better solution for the long term. Nausea can really wreak havoc with daily activities so it's worth asking your doctor.
Thanks for your positive review of yoga and meditation. Many people don't realize that part of the goal of yoga is to take what you learn off the mat, i.e. being gentle with yourself, keeping your mind free of distraction, etc. When you practice it on the mat, it gets easier to do in 'real life'. Your daily commitment will take you far! Keep up the great work!
Nice to see you back here. You certainly have come a long way and I'm sure it's satisfying for you to have your partner comment on your accomplishments as well! I'm proud of you and so happy that the program has been of help to you. Way to go!
Thanks for sharing, Deanna. Nice work- and what you are telling yourself is so true!
I'm glad to see you are doing so well and I'm sure you have many good days ahead. Keep thinking positive and please continue to let us know of your successes!
