    I should probably stop late-night-blogging, I’m not sure it’s that coherent. Since I finally realised that Rio’s issues are threshold related, so I went back and re-read Control Unleashed, and immediately felt better. I formulated a plan, and it’s already in action. We’re worked through the Take a Break exercises and she’s already improving in…
