That's legitimate -- the need for triage is much more pressing when there's wigging out happening.

I guess I have the privilege of undertaking headspace building as an interesting journey and a personal tool, rather than a necessary preparation. And, tbh, some of the therapy I'm doing lately has involved intense visualizations which I think would be helped if I got to know my internal world a bit.

How did you find your headspace thawing? Was that something you undertook intentionally, or did it happen naturally over time?
