                    [Summary] => It was an intimate exercise that started with me and my therapist in a small heated pool. Floating devices were wrapped around my joints to help me drift in the water. Afterwards, I was asked to let go of everything– emotional stress, anger, disturbing thoughts, et al. I then surrendered to my therapist’s arms as she cradled me for about an hour in the water making stretching movements, using the water as a life force to heal and relax me. During my experience, I felt emotions that I have not had since I was a child.
