S&G:

Seriously, you took that throw away 'slow and gentle' line to heart? WTF were you thinking! I just heard in in passing at the Bessel Van Der Kolk seminar, and it seemed like a nice way to end an email.

I tried it on on all 45 clients on my books that week, and you were the only one that even seemed to notice. So that was a fail. LOL!

It seems like you've taken quite a lot of what I said to heart: about how I would stand still for you, no matter what, and that you weren't too much. But really, that was all so 2016, wasn't it? And so much has changed since then - you clearly just can't keep up.

Oh well, plenty more fish in the therapeutic sea and all that: suggest you just take last week's advice and try some 'controlled dissociation'
when those pesky feelings of hurt, betrayal, abandonment and bewilderment come up. It's not good to be flooded with emotion.

Somebody who wasn't Bessel (he was the week before) suggested that one, and I think it's good advice. At least for this week. Controlled dissociation. Just cut yourself off from your feelings, grin and bear it. Or lay back and think of England, as they would say back in the day.

Fast and furious, S&G -it's my new email
sign off, and it's the only way to go!
