Has anyone ever tried any specific strategies to stay warm and cozy indoors during the winter months?

A good sauna will warm you right to your bones. I stay much warmer much longer after a good sauna.

Strategy number one is firewood. Cut firewood, cure firewood, stack firewood, and burn firewood in the woodstove or on the hearth. That is my all time favorite. It may not be ecologically the best solution, but firewood warms you several times even before you burn it.

I also believe in well-constructed long underwear. I bought some wonderful Australian wool longies that are priceless.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

The “three dog night” is when it is SO cold that only three dogs on the bed will warm you up. I can personally speak very highly of the warmth and coziness of the traditional “three dog night”! There is nothing quite like a radiant German Shepherd or three to warm you right up.

For sure. I have over sixty years of trying to stay warm in the northern winters.

I use microwave heat packs several times a day during winter. An electric blanket is a godsend.

How about learn C sharp at 2024?
