I am a thinker. BUT...
I think I have started to do this. I used to not cry in front of H. I have started to find myself reacting in a more authentic way. I think it is mostly a matter of feeling entitled to my feelings, to the point where his reaction would not affect my opinion or belief in myself. Even if he were to say "that is THE dumbest reason to cry", I would be able to defend my right to my true feelings.
But the only reaction I have gotten thus far is surprise. And some support, but not necessarily in the form in which I had hoped for it. But that is the therapy lesson of clearly stating what I want. So many changes!
