Hi Echoes,

It sounds like you truly have rounded a bend in the road, so to speak. Good work!

It's like I've been showing her the table of contents of the book of my life and I've now opened up the book and selected a chapter to explore.

I love this metaphor. Now, did you select the chapter consciously or unconsciously? And are the chapters fixed or could it be one of those choose your own adventure books where the ending can change depending on what the character does next?

It is amazing that the longer we stick with the process, the more trust we develop and the safer we feel, and the more we are able to open up and share and also accept boundaries. You know, I've always felt and believed that ultimately the boundaries make me feel safe so this whole experience is circular....

Peace.
