Second year Day 50 - Friday February 1, 2013

Today I took Bridgett to meet with Jennie Murdock, who is a counselor and also does emotional clearing.  She just over an hour talking with Bridgett and it was a very good appointment.  She talked to her about the wreck, about what things are frustrating her at this time and then she released just two emotions.  The first was the feeling of being overwhelmed about the whole situation.  Jennie said that this trapped emotion was affecting Bridgett's glands and hormones (which ARE screwed up right now!)  After releasing this emotion she asked Bridgett to pick an emotion to replace it with.  Right away Bridgett said hope.  Jennie asked her to picture what color hope is and Bridgett said orange (her favorite color) and that it was like a big ball of hope in her head.  It was cool actually.  Then she released the emotion of terror.  Jennie said this emotion was affecting her eyes (because of terror at what she saw right before the wreck) and her kidneys (which have been hurting a lot).  She then asked Bridgett to pick another emotion to replace it with and Bridgett picked joy.  She said it was like a big bubble of joy surrounding her.  It was a neat appointment and Bridgett came out of it just glowing and so happy.  Jennie also talked to her about processing through things when the time is right.  I know it has to be done at some point, but I am dreading that time actually.  Anyway, it was a good day.  It was also good for me to listen and interject with Jennie.  This is the first time I have had anyone voice the fact that Bridgett must have felt so much terror just before the impact.  I have thought about that many times, but try not to really think about it too much.  It's a horrible thing to contemplate.
