What Really Happens in Therapy: Behind Closed Doors - A Guided Journey to Healing pulls back the curtain on what actually happens when the door closes and the real work begins. Drawing on twenty-five years of clinical practice and more than 20,000 one-on-one conversations, Licensed Clinical Social Worker Stacy G. Nation reveals the neuroscience behind healing, the body-based tools that create lasting change, and the reason talk therapy alone often isn't enough. This book is built on one foundational truth: you cannot think your way out of a nervous system response. Healing requires working with the body, not just the mind. Using accessible language and real clinical stories, Nation walks readers through the science of the stress cycle, the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences, and the body-based skills that actually complete the healing process - skills most people never learn unless they find exactly the right therapist.

“Wyoming seems to be the doing of a mad architect- tumbled and twisted, ribboned and faded, deathbed colors, thrust up and pulled down as if the place had been startled out of a deep sleep and thrown into a pure light.”

This weekend I headed over to spend the day in Red Lodge

We hiked and ran into the Camp host - he tells us a story about his dad's involvement in the Gary Powers U2 flight - so of course I want to know more.

Then we pop into a artist gallery - and the gentleman artists tells about the Man Dan Indians in the Dakota's and the ceremony to call in the Buffalo.

He also suggested the book Journal of a Trapper: Nine Years in the Rocky Mountains 1834-1843 by  Osborne Russell 

Then we go to the Babcock and Miles Restaurant  and have this amazing IPA and these...dates stuffed with cheese and walnuts..

And then start an amazing book recommended by something new to me  The Solace of Open Spaces by Gretel ehrlich

I listened to Lost Lambs by Madeline Cash - Fiction, But a little mix of everything honestly. Did not love the characters but I was curious what happened to the characters!
