Dee Dee,
I don't know that there were any "A-ha!" moments, just he continued reassurance that I was on the right track. Help seeing that where I was and what I was experiencing was par for the course. I don't know about you but sometimes I stop believing my own self talk. Like my brain says, "Yeah, right" and goes right on being anxious. I stopped trusting myself. With the coach, I had not only her backing up my self talk thus giving me some validation but got her support as well. It was like having someone standing at the finish line rooting you on. There wasn't much I could tell her that surprised her and to have someone tell you, "Hey, don't freak on this, I've been there done that and there IS an end" was invaluable. She was my voice of reason when I rather lost mine. I had also stopped believing that there IS an end to this crap.
She also helped me see things from a different perspective... the perspective of normal. Which, as you know, is kind of hard to come by sometimes! lol
Those of us who want to go through this together should figure out our next step. This message board, "General Comments" is probably not the right place for us all to meet. Does anyone have experience using the private topics? Is this something we want to meet weekly or even twice weekly on?
I think we could serve as each others coaches. You guys will be able to help me with stuff I struggle with and vice versa. I would love to see this take off! let me know what you guys think!

Focus on what you want, not what you fear...
