Well, it’s been a hot minute since I was last on here, and by hot minute I mean 4 years. I recently dealt with a major incident at work which was pretty upsetting, and I found myself grabbing for the old CBT toolbox as well as TRIM practitioners. It was then that it occurred to me that I hadn’t been on here in a long time. 

Odd thing is I thought it would be exactly like it was 4 years ago, thriving, full of people ready to talk and share, anytime day or night. Sadly that no longer seems to be the case.

Over the years I’ve gotten pretty good at managing my thought processes and emotional responses. Sure I occasionally have a slip up, but it doesn’t take me long to bring my mind back on track.

I think the reason this website has declined may be because people just assume you can get “cured” then put it in a box and put it all behind you. That obviously isn’t the case, but nonetheless that’s what most people think.

It’s the burden of all of us to keep coming back, keep growing and keep progressing. I’ve always been a big advocate of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness, but maybe I’ve neglected to advocate for it as often and vigorously as I ought to have in recent years?
