“There was this underlying… dissatisfaction… I knew I needed to do something. I wasn’t going to spend the rest of my life like that. This new place…includes both what I see and how I think things work…everything is more alive and brighter. There’s also more of a sense of me being here. Before, it was a bit like being a ghost…Now I feel I’m totally here…in the world, connected to the world…I also experience…that quietness where there seems to be more space in the brain cavity. I don’t react the same way…It’s not triggering as much so that helps…because I think a lot of problems come from…responses as opposed to staying in the moment.”
