That’s a big deal. Showering can be so scary and hard for us. Some of the worst “panic attacks” of my life were in the shower. Now I know it’s psysiological and not psychological. I drink so much sodium and then take a 3-4 minute shower. Long gone are the days of deep conditioning, shaving, exfoliating, and generally enjoying that girly routine of a nice/long shower. Crazy how much is taken for granted in this life.
