Yes!! Such a simple yet effective act. And, I relate so much to the constant “work” of tending to your mental health. I often tell people that I have to do 100 practices a day just to feel meh😂. But it’s way better than spiraling of going dark.

Oh cool- you’re coming to Boston. I’ve been wanting to check out Dray and this would be the perfect opportunity to snatch up some of your products too!

One thing that I learned to do (from my daughter’s therapist) when anxiety is revving up is to go for something extremely cold. My 10 year old has freak out moments during homework and when I see her beginning to spiral, I put an ice cube in her hand and tell her - take a 5 minute break and let it melt in your palm. It works! And I’ve done variations of this for me, too. Racing mind - I’ll throw a freezing cold ice cube on my neck and cold face cloth on my face (when I don’t have time to jump in shower).
