If a way, that's why I am not in the medical arena. All my life I have played the therapist for my friends. I was a good one too. But then I wasn't really a friend. It was never equal. Now I know how to be friends.

Thank you for seeing and saying.

Then there are major depressive swings on top of that (I think I've hit -4.5 or lower).

What does that look like -4.5 ? Inside you and outside you?

> It doesn't sound like a useful approach to me. 'Negative stuff in my tissues' doesn't touch me much....Sorry, that's messed up. I meant that if you do have trauma stored in your tissues that healing touch can and does help release it. Oh pity, sometimes I get too excited and say it all wrong.

How much does it cost? Is it more expensive then regular therapy?
My insurance covered most of it. It was a gift to myself.

I doubt I am somewhere warmer. I think maybe colder? We go out to see the Red Wing Black birds. After the hunters have had their day and all the beautiful leaves have turned and fallen to the earth. It's real cold. We went out right before dusk. As the long blue shadows streched across the water. The river was flat and shinny. All the hills were casting large fields of black on the water. The trees bare bones ready for winter. We saw an owl rushing through the island forest. We canoed to this island where we have been so many times and seen splendid sights. It takes 1/2 an hour. We had packed food, mittens, warms clothes. We sat and waited. The day darkened as we waited. Our canoe hanging on the reflection of the sky. We waited and watched. On Saturday it paid off with quite a show of black birds and the river otter. We struggled home against the current as the stars became our only source of light.
