PENNY
Hey, Morgann. What's happening?
You
I just had a fight with my partner and I can't stop shaking
PENNY
That sounds really activating. Before we go further, where do you feel this in your body
You
My shoulders and upper back
PENNY
Yep, that makes sense. Let's unpack this together.

How did the fight start?
Say what you need to say....

‹ BackMoments That Moved
Moments in your sessions where something visibly shifted.
Session 5 · Apr 7
You named the body sensation before reacting — caught yourself in the spiral.
"Wait. I feel it in my chest. That's the thing that always starts it."
The moment it clicked
Session 2 · Mar 28
First time saying you didn't want to fix it — you just wanted to feel it.
"I'm tired of trying to figure out why. Can I just be sad about it for a minute?"
Permission given

‹ BackTriggers
Situations that tend to activate a strong response.
Trigger 1
Being dismissed — especially by someone whose opinion matters to you.
"He just walked away mid-sentence. I know it sounds small but I went completely cold."
Session 1 · Mar 24
Trigger 2
Unexpected plan changes — loss of control activates anxiety before logic catches up.
"I know it's irrational. But when things shift last minute I just can't regulate."
Session 3 · Apr 2
