Discomfort

I tried to go to acupuncture a couple weeks ago. I thought I was ready. I thought I could do it. I was hoping it would be the same healing experience it has been in my past. My safe place. I went to a new clinic, with a lovely practitioner I trust and knew. And I lasted about 15 minutes in the chair. 14.5 of which I was fighting back tears, pace breathing, regulating emotions. Something that had once been so powerfully healing, calming, loving, just isn't anymore. So, I had my needles pulled and I left. And I was sad. I'm not sure if I will try it again. It's strange that something once so healing is now a huge trigger.
