This is the greatest summer of my life! I found this site and I am much better and I have lots of friends here. It's a dream come true. I look at exposure work as exciting and challenging instead of a dread or fear. I haven't avoided things like I used to and I just say, "yes", to where ever my family wants to go, instead of staying behind. The summer used to mean that, yea! my daughter is home from college. Now she has internships every summer in different states. The role transition session was great, so now I say to the summer, yea! what am I going to do and enjoy. I'm glad, that even before taking this program, I traveled with my daughter to Florida, and found a passion for snakes (by trying something new). And, that I did a 5K run which was completely outside of my comfort zone and out of my fitness zone. And, I got a pet parrot out of our tree and reunited him with his owner and got to bird sit him and his friend for a week. You can't get much better than that. I am taking better care of myself which is huge, because I would even put the pets before myself. I'm working on negative core beliefs and it's just so exciting to learn and use all of the skills on this program.
