Thank you, ECHOES and Kiya.

Today went really well--a big and scary discussion with my H about really sensitive topics--way better than I could have envisioned. This will help for later this week. Fingers crossed...

One thing I experienced was several times H said something and I was tempted to respond in a certain way, in an "old" pattern. But I didn't. I just sat there and listened to what I was feeling inside and did not respond in any way that was not true to what I perceived inside. This felt really good to me. And not so difficult. Maybe this is part of uncoupling.

I think you're right, ECHOES. Maybe if I feel disconnected from T in session, I'll just start chanting.
