Cat, the MC sessions my W and I had went like this (after the first one or two where it was made clear my job was to shut up and listen). The C would ask a question of my W, often an uncomfortable one, often one that I feared what my W's answer would be. Then we would sit, in silence. I would be thinking: answer him already!, this is costing us money, don't just sit there, don't you want to make our M better?, what terrible thing could you be keeping inside, just say it, I know what you're thinking and feeling - I should answer.... finally, after unbearable silence, me sitting on my hands, an answer would come out, and it would usually be disappointing and not very deep.

Maybe it worked on W inside though. I don't know. It was painful, and funny after a while. It was a 180 for me to keep my mouth shut for so long. ;-)

I am feeling very close to busting my divorce, and having a good M, I want to take someone with me. You're doing great Cat, you've helped me so much. I sure hope I can and am helping you too.
