I go to Massachusetts where she lives with my oldest and we go for walks on the beach and we stay with Libby and we have tea. And it's like walking has shown me who I am. It has shown me that I don't have to know where I'm going. It has shown me, like Libby says, to put motion to emotion. So when I'm pissed, I go for a walk. When I'm happy, I go for a walk.

And it's the promise to myself to move my body every day. And I did it. And I'm going to keep doing it because I deserve to keep the promises to myself.

Yes.

I think there are healthy ways to self-soothe and unhealthy ways to self-soothe. I think that just comes down to it. I think people who struggle with addiction are self-soothing in their own way. It's not healthy. How do we shift the unhealthiness into something that's healthy, into something that's supportive, into something that is life-giving? Because that's really what self-soothing is for me.

It replenishes me. It fills me up. It's this nourishing act of self-care. Yeah. And so finding healthy ways to self-soothe has been big for me, too, because when I was younger, I didn't have those things. I looked for love in places that there was none. I dated really terrible people because I was self-soothing or trying to, right? I... didn't eat.

I struggled with an eating disorder because I was, as you said, self-soothing, right? But that wasn't healthy. It wasn't life-giving. And so when we think about self-soothing, we need to be thinking about filling our cup, replenishing, nourishing. That's the word that really kind of like makes me feel things inside, like self-soothing equals nourishment.
