Hmmmm... I don't think my therapist would do this. I'm also not sure I would ask. I want to come up with a hankster simile, but I'm falling short. It's sort of like that episode from the Brady Bunch when Cindy froze in front of the camera, except the camera was focused on Eddie Munster looking for Spot who you do not want to find by accident. (How did I do with that?)

I'm glad you found a way to keep yourself accountable while also feeling cared about. That sounds like a good balance.
