Leed he must be the dumbest man on earth. He has learned to soften his tone, he has learned to get down on my level visually, he has learned to give me a lot of space my personal space boundries are different from most folks, he's learned the damage it causes it call me dumb and many other names. We are working on communications skills alot because he must only talk to cave men.

You made me laugh, it's a first today.

"So he " shuts down" when something comes up that he doesn't like in therapy. That must mean that he shuts down ALOT, doesn't he!! "

Yes he does shut down alot and the T catches him asks where are you, where were you, tells him to come back. Some times she just switches the conversation to me.

It has helped us both w/ me having an advocate to help me and keep me safe. (not physically but mentally) The T is wonderful at helping us understand the meaning behind the words. When he says I don't want you using the computer and talking to people that really says I'm insecure.
