I have pulled pieces and make choices about what works for me today. Rational Recovery, online groups, and the fact that it was too damned cold and snowy today for an arthritic woman to safely put my walker in the snow. What worked for me today was a mix of things.
What works for someone else, I'm not fit to judge. Their joy in their day, I will celebrate though.
