So, will you think up real situations and think through other ways of responding that allow the armor to be let down? There are probably a ton of situations like that. Will you choose those that are most prominent in your life right now? Will you be able to share those with us and what you learn?

Your ability to explain and analyze your own challenges have helped many people here on PC, I'm sure. I see you in the role of a therapist because your understanding is so deep and you are trying to 'walk the walk'. Only those who have done it can help those who are also trying to do it. Have you considered becoming a licensed T? I know you would be great at it.
