Heist on Something....

Hops:
Being true to yourself is a good thing.
Especially in a world where nothing is perfect...... good things have to be enough.
Take our filters with you.
Good luck.

Hopalong:
Couples-T turned out to be very nice, no hint of evangelism, and he's written a mature (science-based) book on RET (rational emotive therapy) for couples, has taught counseling at the university, and has had a 35-year career. We all got along and I was particularly pleased for B because this T has an athletic background and has also done a lot of corporate counseling. Neither of those experiences appeal to me but they overlap with B's life so I thought there was a nice connection for them. We have homework in the book to do and B emailed me that he's excited about it. We shall see but I'm glad to be doing this (one week at a time).
Our intros were pretty good. Mine a history, B's a step-by-step narrative of how we met and what he said and what I said and then and then. The T seemed enthusiastic about working with us. Said his "passion" is creative writing, so that's a connection for me. All I care about is empathy...figuring out if B has enough and likewise the T, to imagine/understand some of my experience. It'll help to know.
Today (couple hours, gotta pack!) we head for our Real Long Wknd. My favorite city with more reunions with friends, then the shore where B and his wife lived for years. Their friends we'll stay with are an an engineer and his artist wife, so that's encouraging! I'm looking forward to it.
May be offline for a couple days or pecking away under the covers on the Ipad at 4am.

I'm glad the T seemed like a balanced kind of a person, Hops. I remember seeing a hospital psychologist years ago who was so peculiar that I started to wonder if one of the patients had escaped and nicked a white coat and a clipboard :) It helps when the person in front of you seems okay :) I hope the weekend away goes well and look forward to hearing about it when you get back xx

At least it wasn't a complete bollocks, Hops.
Sounds kind of promising, actually: )
