I'm not understanding the value of what the T would say, after the fact?
It's how Tupp views it, right?

But I'm dense and might be missing a traditional part of the practice of EMDR therapy, a summary report or something.

Bottom line, it is beautiful what you two EMDR graduates have learned and healed!

Big Wowzers,

Oh I see, sorry, I think all the corona virus reading has made my brain wobble.  She didn't say anything about it, just asked me if I felt we were done and that she felt we'd finished the story up till now, which I agreed with :) I did want to give her a hug but I didn't in case of germs!  Lol xx

Tupp:

I love what the T said... she felt you'd finished the story..... nice.

Sorry you couldn't exchange a hug.

Focusing so much on health from prevention and survival point of view has in many ways been a GOOD thing for me.

I've ordered healthy foods and have no "junk" in my home. (Exception: chocolate's in my next order, but isn't that a vegetable?)

We held our covenant group meeting by Zoom and it was wonderful. Everyone appeared, we walked an older member through her technical issues, humor was good, sharing was terrific, and everyone's looking forward to doing it again.

I have been walking. Nothing dramatic but about 5 times a week. Big change of direction and long overdue. I want to keep it up. I see people even just saying hello (from six feet) and it's cheering.

I've also made four "walk dates" with covenant group members who live nearby. Did my first yesterday and we had a lovely time. No contact, six feet apart, easy to talk and weather was great. I just pulled up, parked, and she was in the yard waiting. Pooch was extremely happy to be sniffing around a new neighborhood.

A mother posted on our neighborhood site that she was taking her young children on a "bear hunt" and asked if anyone who has bears would put them in the their windows. A dozen people responded, PMing the mother their addresses and some even posting a pic. I offered my tiny Paddington Bear for extra credit since he's so little. I love seeing him in the window now and knowing he gave some small child a smile.

More later....
hugs

Aw I love the bear hunt, idea, Hops, that is so cute!  Be nice if people keep up some of this social and reaching out to the community stuff once the current situation is over.

And I had forgotten about this thread, I have stuff to add!  Like you, I am eating more healthily and snacking a lot less.  Even my desire to snack is massively reduced because I'm not experiencing the stress I usually do, or the temptation from walking past bakeries or snack shops and coffee shops.  It's amazing how much it goes from your mind if you can't see it or smell it.  We are exercising indoors, loads of good videos on YouTube.  My stress levels have just dropped through the floor, it's been so relaxing that I can feel myself enjoying the things I'm doing now, and I'm able to be much more conscious and aware and make choices!  I love making choices :)
