This is my soothing swing chair that I bought right after my Grandma passed away. I use it as needed during the week to soothe myself. My therapist says that the gentle rocking in it mimics the womb.

  1. Thinking about it I do like to snuggle with my cat and bearded dragon when I’m feeling down and they do make me feel better. That’s one technique!

  3. What I really envy is your sunshine to use your chair. That would be so great but it will be months til I see it. Thanks for all of your ideas.
