When Im switching I like to talk but everyone is different. My therapist holds my hand and tells me she will wait on me until who ever is ready to talk.

Its such a difficulty process all round and not easliy got over. I come out the other end exhausted.

Yes, everyone is different and what may work for you may not work for my friend. I will follow his lead and be sensitive to how he would like me to react. I asked him earlier if he wanted me to stay with him while he drifted, and he said that he didn't think we should stay on the phone in case he fell asleep. Of course, if we were together in person...he might want it differently. He is very sensitive to my needs as well, and I appreciate it.

Thank you so much, allthegirls! Every response I receive helps me to further understand my friend, and that means a lot to me.
