Okay, so first wow and thank you, that is a lot and I am going to need to read it a few times and I love it!
Now I have to tell you the first few sentences I had a person with hands together 🙏clapping them rapidly right at their sternum. And for the rest there was a hurried voice and someone repeatedly returning up and down to and from tip toes. And-it-was-magical.
Now I am going to read that like 5 times so I can absorb it. And thank you again...I will also look at that book, but I generally run stuff like that by my therapist first to make sure it doesn't clash with what we are working on at the moment.
You're very welcome!
Yes, I was excited similar to the person you described, but I wasn't in a position to act it out at the time. I still felt it though!
Let me know if you have any questions about what I commented. Also, please know that I am not a specialist in this field or a therapist. I'm just some guy that got real interested in the subject once I was diagnosed.
That sounds like a great rule to have 🙂
I am very glad because I felt like I brought joy to your life.
And I will I have a bookmark placed on your comment so I can get back to it. If I come up with questions I will put it in a reply here so you will get a notification.
