When I read this I thought about how many times my parents saw something and just said..Ah, she's tough she can handle it.

The end result is that the other person perceives this emotionless request as empty and doesn't really understand the emergency.

This comment made me think about how stuff tends to eventually come out when I try to communicate with people. Last week H and I had some serious dialog. I ended up telling him a few things about my experiences, he totally didn't get how much it really bothered me. I later realize the problem was that when I finally do speak up, I do it in this emotionless way and people hear the words but don't really GET it. In reflecting on your dream I envisoned the girl surfacing and thrashing about in the water while her Dad tells you, "Don't worry she is just having fun playing in the water."
Miss C I find it interesting that you and your T can discuss how you are perceiving him.
