COT

This session was followed by a short reminder to be compassionate, and to be their for others who may not necessarily deserve it. I’ve got some family with some dysfunctional behavior and while I do need boundaries with them, I can also still be engaged in their lives. They often don’t know how their own behaviors affect me. I can be kind to them still.

Great work Men!

Since this was my first VQ I decided to share what F3 has meant to me. I shared about my past, struggle with anxiety, how events have led up to my current struggles but how I have been working on myself over the last year and how F3 has been a piller of fun, encouragement and support through it all.
