Her therapist trained her on a very specific form of self-hypnosis, esoteric but powerful...she really felt as if she was floating among the stars and finding a sense of peace. When she felt the area below her stomach tingling, almost bloating, she opened her eyes in alarm, but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Her therapist told her to ignore such feelings and push through them, that they were part of the path to enlightenment, and so she did...even when her arms felt like they were growing fur and she couldn't feel her toes, she pressed on, the depths of her hypnosis feeling more "real" than ever before...
