No. 1 did middling-okay at it. No. 2 was great at it. No. 3 seems like she might be good at it.

I get that. I think that relational, emotional distance is exactly why I was able to share so much with them. I think I feel a need to protect other people from the details whereas with my therapist I don't have that messy emotional relationship stuff that gets in the way. I totally agree.
