Re: Not the wicked stepmother...

Re: Started today

congratulations on your new start! have you listened to session 1? i think it is there that she reminds us that no one has ever died from a panic attack. i know it seems like that is what is happening, but in reality, WE are controlling what is happening to our bodies. i do recommend that you follow...
