Group therapy

Before group therapy today my group went on a walking therapy. We all suffer from some diet of generalized anxiety and agoraphobia. Imagine to our surprise when the block wasn't straight but zig saggy. We got to a point .4 miles later and couldn't figure out if the next street was a dead end. We hadn't even gotten there and we were deciding whether or not to up back the way we came. I took out my phone and used the gps map. Unfortunately I didn't focus the direction. It looked like we would go forward turn right the make three left turns. People wanted to turn back at that point. So, I turned on the focus and realized, hey go straight and then make three left turns. We had a discussion and we decided to go forward. 

So as our case manager stated, we "went on a walk, meet problems head on, and problem solved",  while using the safe coping skills being taught. 
Next week we will learn to knit. I plan to help.
