WOW!!! What incredible responses from everyone! We are just at the beginning of Step 1, and I'm seeing so many insightful and honest responses! Congratulations everybody! This is going great!! I can't wait to see what the rest of the discussions bring!!
Thanks everybody for the kind words! You just can't imagine how much they mean to me! If you haven't already noticed this before , I really DO believe in the practical, "do-able", and wise guidance that Michele's teachings have to offer. I can't tell you how many "self-help" books I read before finding this place, but I'm sure that it's probably more than most local libraries have in stock!! However, I CAN tell you that knowing any of the "why's" things were happening didn't help me much until I came here, and began to look at the "what-to-do's".
And thanks, Dotty, for stopping by! I know that YOU really believe in this process, too! For those of you that aren't familiar with her, do a search on her name, and see what great things she writes, and what wonderful things that those who have talked to her have said about her. I assure you that you'll be pleased!!
And search out sgctxok too! She's a wise lady, that can definitely help to steer you in the right direction! Who loves you, sg?!
Anyway, forgive me if I don't get back with all of you individually. It's starting to look like we're getting some good feedback going back and forth between each other, which is what it will take to make this all work! Between ALL of us, we've got a heck of a lot of wisdom here, so let's make sure we keep using it!!!!
P.S. If you're at the place right now where it might seem too difficult for you to practice these new-found skills with your partner, pick someone else in your life that you can "practice" on. Maybe someone where the emotional intensity isn't quite so high at this time. "DB'ing", or being solution-oriented, can work in ALL relationships in your life, not just the one with your spouse. Keep this in mind, I know that this was one thing that helped me!!!
