one Q I have for you though. and I hope this doesn't set you off like a powder keg.
I believe that I read that your H said that he would be willing to make a minimal trial run kinda thing at doing IC. He mentioned that he would want to return to a C that he had been to before.
What is so wrong with this offer from him? I guess I sense that his offer is perhaps being made for the wrong reasons (just to appease you by "punching the clock" at a C's place ..so to speak).
But some S's never make an offer of any kind to go to IC. So, IMO, just because he seems to have the wrong mindset about this matter does not in fact mean that no good might come from it.
When I mentioned in my last post that I felt I could easily be your H's "understudy", this is one of the items that caused me to feel that way. Cuz I viewed IC the same way as your H does. Since I did not see a definitive need for IC for myself I went initially at my darlings insistence. And just as your H has suggested, I figured that the C would make a good impartial judgement as to whether I needed to be in their office on a regular basis.
