Thank you Dr. Snipes. I have to tell you from an academic standpoint you are very inspiring. Also I've learned more from your lectures than my psych professors. From a personal standpoint you have given me a sense of strength to overcome without being afraid. Thank you for your good work. 🙏❤❤❤

My HPA axis doesn't work as it should. I don't produce ACTH I have no cortisol I'm on synthetic cortisol.

I wonder how deep my disfunction is...

But it is pretty bad, I'm not right

the good Dr Snipes answered my question, and got so excited, I had to grab a chocolate ice cream bar suddenly! It's not a craving, it was more like a dog biscuit, a reward... that there ARE possibilities of change. Brain will be learning how to switch from autonomic response, to a logical response... it might take another box of ice cream bars, tho...

I covered my mirrors. Should I uncover them?

I just poured a whiskey and lit a smoke 💨 after a stressful day of work …..and thought I’d watch my YouTube notification videos.
Yikes 😳….now I’m double triggered .

Alarm clock sounds is ALARMING THREATENING to move out of SAFE BED. TERROR TO FIND YOUR COURAGE, STRENGTH TO LEAVE A SAFE & WARM PLACE TO RELAX. PARALYZING ALARMING SOUND TO INSTANTLY CHOOSE TO BECOME COURAGEOUS.
CHOICES TO DECIDE FAST. FAST FREEZE. NOT HELPFUL TRIGGER.
