Finally Faced Kitchen Fears - Made My Own Italian Dressing

[Dougal]

Great idea James. I am challenged with an issue and it hadn't occurred to me to organize a task as a means to a solution. Hmmm, going to give this some thought. Thank you.

Thanks for the ideas and support everyone.

Soup sounds like good goal. It's clear to me a lot of my trauma happened in the kitchen, from my earliest years, before I can remember. Was thinking about it today. It's funny how stuck some of these habits (behavioral symptoms?) like eating too fast, are. I guess becoming aware of it is the first step. I still eat too fast, so for me it's baby steps, and understanding. And being kind to myself. Because I was so terrified for so long, and I was so little. Guess it made quite an impact on my mind, because I still get teared up. When I scan or search this part of my life mentally, there's a void. Just shaky, and weepy. Becoming aware of this is, and being able to share, is pretty major for me. Thanks everyone.

Hey James,

I am mighty impressed. I can barely boil water. Great work to overcome the past trauma and put your own loving energy into nourishing yourself.
