I survived 3 weeks + in the plunge. It was something I don’t believe any therapist could withstand as they go for sessions in the cold but mine went on for many weeks. Here (below) was my technique. G-D willing this technique will continue to work as I know the plunge is still present in my life.
(1) I found the smallest of warm spots and held onto them a bit longer then in the past.
(2) Distraction were a key because even though I laid in it the cold wasn’t all that surrounded my other senses.
(3) Cold became a challenge not just a burden to conquer.
(4) Fairness isn’t what I focused on but the bigger picture outside the tub.
