We can build this story up to be so beyond a nightmare.  And so it’s important to do things that can ground yourself.  Lastly, try some music without words. Pick a song from when you were 14 years old and it makes you feel good. Dance in the kitchen! Music is a beautiful portal for you take what is happening in here.  And use sound to just be with it. Sing at the top of your lungs!"We know what you’ve gone through this past month – and I am grateful that you shared your story with us. I am grateful that you’re healing so well.
