Thanks for sharing, @Smemflynn! Loved seeing your Eugene drawing - might be a great way for you to express yourself .... journaling with drawings? And, sounds like you're having some great insights already, especially with recognizing/acknowledging those aspects that have been suppressed, like...

Thank you for continuing to share your journey with us, @Diana-M! It really is so incredibly helpful in so many ways (more than you might not even ever fully realize)! With gratitude ❤️

Excellent! Music can be so incredibly powerful. Enjoy!

So glad you're okay, @Rabscuttle! What a way to build your TMS-evidence! Add that one to your sheet in BOLD CAPS!

Love this so much! And, what a great way to allow for that shift in mindset, ie. what CAN I do? Thanks for sharing this with us.

Seems like the best place to start. Why do you think you can't let it go? What do you think the rosacea symptoms are trying to protect you from? What comes up when you feel the feelings around this/journal, etc? What would it mean to just engage in life with the symptoms?

YESS - Sine wave speech - fascinating - The first time I was exposed to it, I was like "what kind of magic is that?" Ha ha ha - our brains are such remarkable prediction machines. Have been immersed in all of the literature around perception for an unrelated project, but so much of it applies...

That's great that you have the awareness so early in life, @Mads1234! You've already taken the most important first step by embarking on the journey with the awareness that you have and you're recognizing that the more power you give the blushing, the more it seems to have. You're on the right...

@feduccini and @Rusty Red - YES! So fascinating! There's some remarkable literature around predictive coding in general you might find interesting as well, if you haven't already explored. Perception has such truly fascinating implications on neuroplasticity!

I think maybe I have explored this before in a post, but too close of a link that anger = violence doesn't make sense to me. While I understand that approach and thought works for others, we're all different, and it definitely doesn't for me. And, I have to keep reminding myself that anger...

Sounds like you have a great balance, @eluna! I'm sure this second time will bring you even more freedom. Wishing you well on this journey.

Oh @mikeinlondon - I'm so sorry you are experiencing this. It just seems like too much, I know. But, please please... moment to moment - know it can and it does get better. When people would say that to me, I really thought F - YOU, you don't have to endure this. And, you don't know the...

YES! Just wanted to add emphasis to this -- fear tries to convince us otherwise, but I'm consistently amazed at how remarkable the body actually is and all it can do that we thought we would NEVER be able to do again. Be kind to yourself, be in communication with your body and trust that...

Thank you so much, @Forest! I know how complex these issues can get especially when trying to keep everything up and running at the same time, while also... life! Your efforts are greatly appreciated and have had positive reverberations farther than you may ever realize. Thanks again...
