I never felt a change in the way I talked but my disposition has varied through the past year. I'm pretty sure she intended for me to experience regression because of the way she would talk and analogies she would use. She compared one stage of our relationship to a toddler learning how to walk and she was holding my hands and teaching me, and that sometimes she would have to let go but she wouldn't let me fall. It was strange, yet understandable and comforting.
