Swedish Fish came from Sweden after all
I’m amazed at you two and all of the interesting topics that you have on your podcast!!! It kinda’ made me think back about how I would visualize goals that I wanted to accomplish, the end result, like the therapeutic program we did for many years with Ben. We needed to help his breathing by getting him to run so he would take deeper breaths. Laurel will remember‼️ I even would have Ben watch running scenes from various movies, so he could see it in his mind’s eye, but I didn’t really know what I was doing, although it seemed to me that it would be helpful! Listening today brought back many memories. Thank you both!!!
