Thanks for this. It really IS all about "bringing it", and why. I have been bringing it, if not for him or a romanticized vision of him, for interpersonal reasons. Not for myelf .
Ruh Roh! I feel like I should pay my session fee to you instead of him this week!
This seems like the key idea. Thank you so much.
