That's so hard to reach out for help, ask for what we need, and then get intellectual talk about what our problem (sticking point) is. It may be true, but it's hard to hear that stuff when we are sitting there feeling so needy. I think your T could have discussed your "sticking point" with you at a time when you weren't reaching out for help. When a person is feeling like that, they are usually not receptive to intellectual banter.

Treehouse, camping trip sounds nice. I love getting outside in the Fall. I hope you had a nice snuggly sleeping bag to keep you warm in the Fall weather.
