I suppose we're only ready to see what we're capable of seeing or admitting to at any particular time.
When I was in school for counseling, they taught us as budding therapists to only work with wherever your client is mentally and emotionally at the time. Meaning, don't push your client to a place they're not yet ready to go. I had forgotten about this most golden advice from my education in the mental field, but I think it's spot on.
And yes, perhaps one day she will appreciate where I was coming from and will realize that it was from a caring place of only wanting to help her.

You’re very welcome.
Yes, I’m convinced that your acquaintance will recognised if (s)he ever is ready to see, especially because I can’t say it for sure, but for the way you express yourself here, you likely were very cautious and kind when talking with her. This is also very important.
I love the buddhist principles. The way they have to understand what’s going on. Without religious connotations. I’m not religious.
