I immediately thought - How Exhausting. And I am going to think a lot more.

I also agree that the lessening of the hypervigilance may ease some of the muscular tensions.

If nothing else, it should ease some of your muscle pain. That would be a wonderful byproduct of the work you are about to do.<BR/><BR/>I am so happy you are getting some help with this. You have done a great job and you are a beacon to many of us.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes to you on Sunday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-86894185553398330782007-11-17T12:42:00.000+00:002007-11-17T12:42:00.000+00:00When I go through times like this, I talk to mysel...When I go through times like this, I talk to myself. I point out that I can determine in no way that my safety is compromised. That I've been in similar situations and nothing bad has happened. I have the conversation with what I call the logical part of my brain speaking to the emotional part. Eventually, although the emotional part never really truly deeply believes I'm safe, it concedes that the changes are good to great nothing will happen. <BR/><BR/>It becomes less of an issue. Never completely gone, but less of an issue.<BR/><BR/>And work to detach the fear from the vigilance. "I'm looking around to determine nothing is threatening" rather than "I'm looking around to determine what is threatening." The first assumes your world is safe and you are proving it, while the second assumes you must live in fear.<BR/><BR/>When the panic starts to creep in, say, "I will not live in fear." <BR/><BR/>It takes some time to reprogram the "thinker" and the "feeler" within you, but it can be done. <BR/><BR/>Congrats on the progress you have made and Cheers! to the progress you will make.LizzieK8https://www.blogger.com/profile/17418678210403829598noreply@blogger.com
