I'm having to switch therapist for two reasons one because my last one made me feel soooo bad about myself it wasn't helping, and second because I can't afford it anymore.

– taking a deep breath in and then when I breathe out I say the word "let go" and then "limp" as I scan my body from head to toe and relax all my muscles that feel tense so I feel completely relaxed and sinking into the mattress. I do this lying down.
– I also find floating in a warm pool very relaxing especially if it's outside, like a hot spring pool. But of course, we can't do that every day. I am hoping to get a therapy pool and put it in the garage this summer or next summer.
