Post-Cardio Decompression
After battling the outdoor elements all afternoon, I squeezed back beneath the loose rubber flap of the screen door and padded into the quiet front hallway. Time for an emergency therapeutic debrief! Clinically speaking, severe somatic overstimulation requires immediate swaddling and tactile decompression. I rolled a stray fuzzy purple sock into an ergonomic recovery lounger right against the painted wood trim. Tucking little Larkchop snugly into the ribbed cuff like an anxious baby marsupial, I adjusted his snout toward the warm hallway glow. No high-flying turnbuckle leaps tonight; the patient is fully committed to restorative downtime, and her therapist strongly approves.
