A look at Control and Chronic Conditions
Control, in the world of chronic conditions, is an interesting topic. I am using the term chronic as ‘something that persists for a long time’ and/or is ‘constantly recurring’. Wanting to control is prevalent in all areas of human society, and when it comes to chronic conditions we want to be able to control it,…

Imagine you are connected to everything and enjoy the adventure..

Stepping into Timmy’s aggressiveness
