Thank you both for what you shared. I found it helpful.

I'm going to write this down as a pithy reminder.

Just read back through some of this thread today and this thought struck a chord with some of my recent struggles. I think I've moved from pain distractions to axiety distractions. Also, Sarah refering to her brain as 'poppet' made me smile. It's just the right word for brain reassurance!

Thanks for those links, Jan, I found them really helpful. I was already familiar with some bits that were included in the recovery program, but it was good to get the wider context/experience. I tried to 'join in' as I was listening, and I feel like I better understand the process of connecting...
