Monday Roll Call

Im sorry to hear you are struggling today Nicole.  You are too beautiful (inside and out) to be sad.  Im sure that ou already know this but use your CBT skills to help you through this.  You cognitively know that the physical pain does not HAVE to affect your emotions.  They are not related and you CAN break that association.  Keep self talking your way through it and challenging your distortions.  You can do it and you will be fine.  You are safe, and surrounded by people and pets that love you!

thanks swede. I am using DBT to deal with the trauma and am in the middle of the really hard stuff. I am doing really well with it, and I am so glad I found the woman I am working with. She makes me a better equipt human and a more effective therapist as well. Today I am identifying the pain, working through the feelings it brings, and developing a approach. man this is a lot of work. I do have some choices as to how long I let a feeling linger and how it sets up residence in my mind. I appreciate the support

Nicole - hoping you feel better and shake this off.  Miss you!

Good Morning everyone.

Today will be a few errands and trying to talk the kids into playing INSIDE. They don't seem to be affected by the heat like the rest of us. LOL.

My nephew got some pretty bad burns on his hand over the weekend and was referred to Lehigh Valley for treatment. So just keep Ben and my sis in your thoughts today as they meet with the doc.

I hope everyone stays cool, and has a good day!

Nic, hope you feel better, and it's awesome that you know your triggers. I still haven't figured out mine and thats frustrating, so hope you feel better soon!!!!

Hi Ida and PA crew,

Hope you are all well - just checking in quickly to say hello and then head to bed!

xoxo,
