I’ve been having some painful trouble with one of my arm/shoulders lately. When I’m injured, or sick, my anxiety issues often get worse. Feeling less than powerful is tough on chronic anxiety. Pain can make it harder to work all my tools. But I’ve been trying to really notice all the people that have been helping me, and I’ve been practicing my tools for regulation, even if imperfectly. Everyone has times when they need help. Asking for it is a self love and compassion thing! Love, Cheri (P.S. Thank you to Nikki Truax at Brickhouse Massage Therapy Michelle James and especially my hubby, chef, and “I’m watching you! You rest!” Specialist T. Andrew Caddick for helping me with so much care and kindness while my wing is being repaired).

Love, Cheri
