Your comments reminded me of my first therapy visit. I provided very little information other than a description of what was currently going on with regard to my husband and children. At the end of the first session my T said,"It sounds to me like to you need to talk with your husband and create a discipline plan ." I left that meeting thinking NO *****! I paid $150 for that bit of advice. I was so steamed but later realize that communication between my husband and I had totally ceased and that I couldn't move forward unless I made an effort to correct this. Since that day she has made several other-- no brainer suggestions that I had the same initial response to but later realized that I was not actually "DOING" them. I guess its a way of reminding us that knowing something and actually doing it are two totally different things.
