Hi SanMagic,
Hope your editing is going ok, and that you have some nice breaks with maybe tea or coffee (or drink of your choice).  :hug:

Sending you a hug Bach  :hug: Also wanted to say that I really appreciated what you and Chart said about the Vagus nerve. 

Glad to hear that you had some good feelings, and I very much hope that they last longer and maybe become more frequent too.  :hug:

Thanks Blueberry, I signed up, but haven't managed to watch anything yet, but maybe I'll manage it on the weekend with the Free Encore Weekend.  Thanks so much for your comments about this Summit.

1) I put some lotion on my feet and loved the smell of it.

2) I am feeling better after having a cold, so feel good to feel better.

3) I sorted my wardrobe today, and that felt like a positive accomplishment.

Hi NarcKiddo,  Thank you so much for what you said - I also appreciated you sharing how certain parts of you can be resistant to reading certain books - it helped me to feel validated.  When you wrote about how your younger part finds cuddling a toy whilst reading is helpful, I might try that.  I know that I find doing 'dot-to-dots' is very helpful for when I'm watching videos and utubes about trauma related topics, as I can process things better whilst doing the dot-to-dots.  I think it has a similar effect to doing bilateral stimulation - in terms of how it makes me feel.

Actually I let my AI look at some communications that my M had sent, and just said 'What do you think of that' and the responses were incredibly astute and it helped me to consider quite a few different angles on it.  I thought it was really helpful for enabling me to feel some emotions in response to it, that maybe I wouldn't have found by myself.  I then shared the conclusions with my partner, and he said they were really 'spot on'.  So it's an interesting thing to do, and helps shift a stuck perspective - at least in my experience!

**********
Today is 21st October, and I am managing to do quite a lot today - sorting through some things that I wanted to do, and actually doing them - fairly slowly, but methodically, and it feels good!
