I typed all that up and made a draft of a blog post.\u00a0 It took me all day. \u00a0<\/span>I added a part about early trauma affecting the development of the brain, how that makes it harder to heal.\u00a0 <\/span>When I managed to get a little more perspective on myself I saw that I had in fact taken some actual steps in a positive direction: finding out how to get the Dan Siegel course material (good for me!), putting up the poster (good for me!), signing up to write postcards (good for me!), and setting a date when I would start teaching folk dance again (even when I wasn’t feeling very excited about it, GOOD FOR ME!).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>I actually did those things, despite being at the bottom of the pit of despair, and I did them without using will power to push myself (good for me!)\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s OK to do something really tiny.\u00a0 <\/span>Given the weight of my despair, a tiny action is an enormous achievement.<\/p>\n
