It could have added another section for a guided meditation. I do appreciate her offering that she has a sleep track. At the end, I wasn’t sure if her condition was as she described. It seems this course wasn’t finished. I do appreciate what I did learn; that I’m not alone.

This was a very relatable and informative lesson on how to calm or relax oneself while in or after a stressful situation. The author sounded so genuine, real and caring. I understand and know how she felt before she learned these techniques and she describes it in a complete, open and vulnerable manner.
