nicola,

A "duh" moment. I like that. I really didn't have the "aha" moments, they were more like "hmmm" moments.

The one liner I thought you meant was the "love but not in love." So I am guilty about the one liner. I wasn't saying it to be disrespectful. Some of my best moments in counseling were when my C would say things like that. They kind of smack me back to reality. I actually look back on those moments as being some of the best I had with my Cs.

As for your counseling, I would agree that if you took time off to reflect and went back, that makes sense to me. I still think one for these days I will go get some counseling, but more to help with current goals. We humans are creatures of habits and habits sure are hard to break.

Again, I apologize for the one liner, I never meant it to minimize your feelings.

Good luck moving forward.
