When I talk about self care, I am referring to real life things you can do to help yourself reduce symptoms and feel physically or mentally better.
The apps mentioned in the podcast can help you with breathing
practice, sleep monitoring or to help you ground yourself.
I am not talking about the foo-foo stuff. No spa is involved, no
special mud or designer robe is required.
So I got some apps, a web page and even something for those of you
that have a device that you talk to from Amazon.
