Updated article
I received feedback that the mix of ironic and direct statements in last month's article How to Irritate Your Nervous System could be confusing and distressing. I added a paragraph:

If you notice a strong visceral response to reading these suggestions, you may already have explored your body's reactions to irritation thoroughly. You can reverse the suggestions to move in the direction of calm.

You can apply that to any advice you receive. If you experience an internal revolt, maybe you've already done enough of that and want to try the opposite.

New job
I am now working Mondays-Wednesdays at a programming job. I may be slower to get back to you than in the past.

Curious, Healing is a blog, and you're welcome to comment there or here about the books. The articles don't have a comment section. You're welcome to comment here or send me email with any thoughts.
