My therapist had one way to approach things--slower and more cautious--and I had another. She was right. I will admit that now. I've contacted her since then to help stabilize things that are happening because of my condition. She's not angry, but we have to figure out how to do this safely. She said it was a breakthrough though, which I agree. But it's messy and frightening.

Hug Ruh Roh. There is a part of me that wants to get this all squared away and everything be ok. Your post reminds me of that part of me. Mine is pushy and doesn't care if I come undone in the process.
My counselor and I have talked about this part and he keeps telling me, and I believe that part of me, that the slower you go the more progress you make. I get it, but it aggravates the pushy part of me.
I've also had some not pleasant things happen as a result of that part getting it's way. Mine, I believe, was progress too but it took some time for me to recover from it.
Hope your hand is getting better!
