Yes! I like being able to listen to her 'voice of reason' anytime I need to.

Thanks Blue Moon.
This is a great insight - and great that you have so much awareness. I hope I start feeling more involved in my life, like you described.

Oh yes, her stern-ness was totally ok. I think she meant it to be forceful enough to push out the distorted thoughts. She sounded very sure of what she was saying, very authoritative in a way. I think her 'voice of reason' has to be more effective than the 'ED voice' . I felt like she was with me, and wanted to help me keep fighting the ED voice. Actually, I can't think of anything in the message that I would have wanted her to say differently, or anything I wish she had added.

My T left me a very stern message once, totally different from his usual messages, and in the moment, it really helped. It was what I needed...some boundaries around what behavior is okay, and what's not okay (it was about SI). It felt good that he cared enough to leave that kind of message.

Thank you Treehouse.
Believe it or not, I remember when T left you that message. I remember how much you scared me with that SI incident, and I was glad he left a stern message and that it helped.
