Awesome thank you! I'm in Celebrate Recovery, which started at Saddleback, and it's SOOOO instrumental in my life changing. I'm also in a small group for women based on this group. I would never have looked for an EMDR therapist and found mine without it. My church is also helping me move into...

Nessa come do yoga with me! :)

I too hate that the Xanax I just got prescribed is making me so happy and chill and calm like the old Sophia was before the CPTSD kicked in big time last year. But I also am loving to know that the old optimistic and relaxed me is still possible. It's just temporary and hearing that you all got...

This is such a great thread! I just downloaded the Pacifica app a week ago that uses CBT to help me reframe thoughts and track my habits to make sure I'm taking care of myself. @cupfish I'm particularly taking your advice to heart - need it!

You slayed me laughing with this! Thank you so much for the support! It's been a rough journey with lots of chaos around me like you said - I'm a little worried taking Xanax but I do agree in the short-trm it might be something to help me cope with the outside stressors. Sometimes I have to...

Hi everyone! I had a tough week - last week I lost heat, and then last Sunday night when I put in electric heaters, the electricity starting going out. It went out while I was IN THE TUB with the water getting cold. LOL I'm laughing b/c I'm far removed from it enough and my doctor said then...
