I had my last checkup with Dr. Tessler who does Fight or Flight Light Therapy. My “circle” has expanded even more.
Positives that I see:
- I feel calmer. When the storms of life rage around me, I feel a sense of calm.
- I can better see the whole picture. This means that I can make decisions better, procrastinate less often.
- I am agitated less often. I still have work in this area, but I have seen improvement.
- My massage lady said that my shoulders weren’t as tense.
Even though I think I could still improve, I do not need to come back any longer. I do have some homework though. Dr. Tessler wants me to keep my current light and do three 30 minute sessions a week for 3 months. The reason is that I am currently going through a divorce (one of the reasons why I did this therapy – to cope better). The divorce should be over in 2 months. Doing these sessions, should keep me calmer and focused and just solidify all the changes that I have experienced already. After 3 months, I can sit with my light as needed.
To summarize: My main goal when I started the therapy – to help me cope with life better.That has been achieved. My original score on the questionnaire (that measures your stress level) was 153. Now it is 49. Under 50 is normal. Yay!
