embracing change

[flowmom]

I see this as more progress- in my CBT work my IC calls this "your witness" or "noticing", which is the first step towards changing your thoughts and hence, your emotions and reactions. Sounds like you are much more aware of this stuff than you were a few months ago and are able to make choices about whether or not to act on or ignore them.

Thanks for this Alice. I like the way you put this.

I *really* hope you can get him some OT/other services to help teach him self-soothing and other strategies as early as possible.

Me too. I think I just have to make a commitment to earning the $110/week that it would cost.

What ever happened with the gal who you were hopeful could help you with a parenting plan and had PDD/autism experience?

I want to read the coparenting book before initiating working on the coparenting plan with H. But yes, I still want to work with her, assuming H agrees.
