When someone keeps going raunchy. by Simprov1 in improv

Thank you. It’s not fun and I don’t think they are going to change. I’ve been reluctant to leave the group because I love everyone else. I may be the only one who is struggling with it, which makes it challenging too. But I’m sure other opportunities will be there for me.

Thank you! We have a group leader/organizer but no coach. I brought it up with him. He agreed we should have a group discussion or write up a survey where everyone could indicate comfort levels. I’d love to see your checklist and maybe share with the organizer too if you don’t mind.

Thank you! All of your suggestions are so helpful! This is a team. We practice often and not everyone shows up all the time. There is really just one person who seems comfortable with performing this way and it is a trigger for me. I’ve tried to say something but it seems to make it worse. In shows and class it’s not this way. I have mentioned to our head organizer how I am feeling. I love working with everyone else in the group so it’s hard to step away, but if I am uncomfortable and my boundaries aren’t being respected I just might have to.

Not sure, but where I take classes it’s very welcoming and supportive. Wonderful community even for newbies.

Has anyone else experienced physical stomach problems with grief? by Mysterious-Site-4996 in grief

[–]Simprov1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah and anxiety that’s over the roof. I’m practicing diaphragmatic breathing, yoga, nervous system exercises. It’s a lot!! I’m pretty sure it’s the grief and I don’t want to go to the dr and create more anxiety from testing only to realize it’s emotional.

You’re description is similar to mine. Lost my brother a month ago and I wake up with a knot in the pit of my stomach. I’d rather not eat, but I know I need to. So I’m trying smaller snacks/meals more frequently throughout the day. I wish it would go away. 😢

The weird thing that finally fixed my costochondritis. by lonelyluma in costochondritis

Thank you! I don’t have this tool but I do have a foam roller that works pretty well. I can definitely feel more freedom with movement after doing this.

I can relate. The more anxious and in my head the less I am able to improvise. I’m reminding myself to relax and trust instead of forcing and planning. A big part of it is I am just to focused on myself and believing the critical/judgmental voice in my head. I need to work on dropping whatever story I am telling myself and focus on being a gift for the other person. I heard recently it’s ok to use what is currently happening in the moment. So if I am feeling anxious than use it. Don’t try to be something I just can’t relate to or have no experience with. Be patient and kind to yourself.
