no, for me drawing closer and pulling back is a continuous motion.

Skysblue... about this >> Help me learn how to turn those pesky emotions off quickly, please

maybe the idea is not to turn them off - I was doing that all the years I were not in therapy, and it sure wasn't paying ... maybe you could look at the month off as having some "quiet time" to look at those emotions, journal about them, process them? and bring the results back to T unedited? Not an easy plan I knowl... just wondering. this is for you
