❤️ “I could have cried”
Hi Debra, me too - this story tugged hard on the heartstrings. 🥲

First, you were not well. And Anna was dealing with her phobia, which is more than simple fear. They are often trauma based and don’t just go away. They can be debilitating. Steal our joy.

Anna did it for herself because of her children.

She chose to desensitize herself, with compassionate empathy for herself.
Small steps and she’s definitely making progress!!!
