I just “guest blogged” for Tina Gilbertson! So much fun. http://tinagilbertson.wordpress.com/
I highly recommend subscribing to her blog – her writing on emotions is par none!
Tina’s work is a great place to start to understand how to work with your emotions, especially if you are struggling with the emotional component of an injury.
Update: Tina is now a twice-published psychotherapist who currently specializes in working with parents of estranged children. You can see her latest work here: https://tinagilbertson.com/.
