Dear Gaia:
I agree, my experience was more serious than yours. I figure then, that if I significantly improved my more serious condition, so can you!
Here is how you do it: Mindfulness. Mindfulness is a huge movement in modern psychotherapy. There is a lot of literature about it, online and in bookstores and in libraries. There are even magazines with this title, Mindfulness. It is about is going about your day focusing on your body and on the here-and-now. It is like taking the elevator down from the over-thinking brain( which often gets lost), and taking that elevator down to the body.
The brain over-thinks and we get lost. But the body doesn’t think, so if we focus on it, we find ourselves, no longer lost. There are exercises on how to develop mindfulness.
Are you familiar with the term? If not, I suggest you read about it some and get back to me after you do.
