Hello Gang!

Read and have met Peter Walker (long ago) in Bay Area.

Recovery rolling along well with self regulation and awesome support at another site. Thought I pop in to learn and share.

  to all!

BeHea1thy...be gentle on yourself when reading them.
I took breaks from during some of the intense areas to allow my stress level to go back down.  Then snuck back up on the subject matter with a comfort item to sooth.
