I think I understand the question and yes it is one way of helping.
That was my only question. Thank you. Not for the answer you gave... but in hearing me. In MY perception of YOU hearing me, and it took some time before I thought YOU understood MY perception, I can accept whatever answer you give, especially as validating. I realize, however, that that may not be the 'end' of it, for you. Or for me. We took, together, one step. Period. Together. That step does not mean I changed your perception, or you changed mine.
All we did was take a step together. Which is far more than what we had done earlier.
