It's like this thought just gets stuck in your head and then you get the sinking feeling in your gut and you start to feel yourself brace. It's like you're paralyzed. You feel it in your body, you feel it in your mind, and next thing you know, you're spiraling? That's dread. And I know you've been dreading a lot lately because you've been writing in and telling me about your dread over the election while it's normal to feel yourself brace in these moments of uncertainty. It doesn't have to be that way. You don't have to live like that.
