Well for the first time since we have been going through this she called me DURING her driving anxiety asking for help and reassurance. This is a HUGE step for her and one of those things that I was hoping to see. She opened up with some more conversation after she got home that she initiated in a respectful and dare I say warm manner. I know I am not out of the woods but I am very joyful about this turn of events because not but a week ago she told me that she felt alone and too far from me to trust me with this.
I have not brought up R discussion and am not saying I love you anymore either and I think this may be part of it as well as I have been constantly validating her for the last week and not focusing on the past but on what she is saying and feeling. Really trying to change our communication by changing my communication skills.
The other reason this is a big deal is because she did not call OM for this and she has not been on the computer as much yesterday and today...of course it could just be one of those busy days for her...These are huge changes from even a week ago. We have been married for almost three years and looking back we have been heading down this road for about seven months so I know I still have a lot of work to do. This is the 3rd time she has asked for help today or opened up. Any advice?
