Fresh off a 3-month break, I jump right into feeling like absolute shit. I wake up on the wrong side of the bed and have no idea what the deal is. I practice observing and describing my body sensations and my thoughts, and share what I’ve learned re: the impact of being invalidated. Oh and I get super judgmental too, so I practice some non-judgement and a bit of self-validation as well.
