Sounds like a good session. Getting communication flowing must be one of your goals.

At this point I am not sure that "emotional detachment" is the route to go. I think this may be more of an issue of me validating the hurt I have caused her over the years.
You may be right. Try it. As you know, this isn't one size fits all. If that is her problem with you and she's willing to stay and work on it, be all means, validate your a$$ off!! Do not tell her she's wrong about anything she is feeling. She can feel however she wants. Show her you understand and show her you are, now, the man she needs you to be.
