Thanks for the responses. I think it's better that I respond in detail AFTER my session today, not before. They're kind of triggering right now, and I've got a lot to do before my session today. You guys all mean well, but you're not my T. I don't mean the responses aren't helpful--rereading a bit. Some of you know me better than I know myself! I still get defensive about my T and IFS, though. I AM busy this morning. I didn't make that up!
