It's important to stress that these episodes are not meant to take the place of any work you're doing with your therapist or doctor. In fact, please run these ideas by your counselor or doctor before you act on them to make sure you are ready for them or even fit for the suggestions. I can't stress this enough, each person is unique and their situation is unique so please talk to your dr before starting anything new I may be suggesting.
