Friday, August 13

This afternoon I got to spend some time with a client that I have been working with on her insomnia.  She has reported having trouble getting to sleep since high school, and it has lately been affecting her work, her ability to pay attention in school, and I think a reason why she has been consistently sick over the past few months.  She came back this week so excited because she had implemented everything we had discussed, and has been able to get to sleep by 9pm every night.  She reported her dad kept saying he didn't believe she was the same girl, and felt like she was a new person.  She was so excited, and so committed to helping herself get better.  Her dedication to the process is revealed by the fact that she has to leave at 10am to get to our meeting place by 1:30pm.  Such a sacrifice and a wonderful encouragement to me.

On a different note...I relived 4th grade tonight by going to the Boyz II Men concert with some friends.  In case there was any question before, they are definitely men now...but dance just like they did back in the day.  It was really fun/funny, and a nice break from all that has been going on.
