KirAnn, I think I'm learning similar lessons. This journey to healing might be just as much mental as it is physical. It takes time to truly accept and practice someone else's advice. And it can feel scary. Gratefully we have mentors who have "been there and done that", so they are in a great position to understand what we're experiencing and offer suggestions. :) I think our confidence will grow as we work through the program, and eventually we will be able to handle negative remarks better. - Charity
