Hi Opt,

Oh be careful what you wish for!!!

I think the reason my H is being so open is that his chief complaint in the R was that he was "not heard". Now I am going to hear him no matter what he has to say! This is how Jody explained it to me. We've done joint sessions where he has just RAILED at me.

At least when he is not being open with you it means you don't need to hear the mean parts either. With openness comes both good (very little though I think with these WASs) and very negative.

So how are you thinking that you could push the envelope? Do you think there is a way that you could lead him to initiate a conversation? What would be a 180 for you?

Do you keep a solutions journal?

ITH
