@Duggit That absolutely 100% applies to me.

Thank you for the reminders to check out Nicole Sachs. She was on my radar, but now I'll make sure to take a look at her program when I'm done with this one. And yes, I definitely have been editing my journaling and not digging deep enough. It's all part of the journey. I'll get there one day.

Today, on day 27, the journaling assignment is this: "Take a past event or strong emotions and journal about how it has caused minor, or major, flare-ups of TMS/PPD.

In day 10 we are supposed to ponder who we may be hiding our emotions from. I believe in my case it's my husband and my son. Today I actually wrote a letter to my husband as part of the journaling assignment and I did the same to my son the other day. I frightened myself quite a bit for the...

So I realized today in day 10 of the structured program that a new pain I developed in February has completely gone away. It had started to weaken before I started the program, but it still was there daily. And now it's 100% gone. It was fascia related, which was new for me as well. I'm quite...
