Wow, this new counselor is worlds better than my first MC. Makes me angry about the damage the first MC did. Oh well, can't unring that bell.
He basically agreed with the entire DR strategy, with one exception; he said in my W's case, it's very important that she understands how I feel about her; that she's special and I want to work with her on our R. Just once, don't hammer her over the head. But make sure she knows.
I think I've done that. It was just very interesting talking with him. It almost felt like I was talking to Coach! He said that my W wants to be pursued, wants lots of attention/affection. But is just too scared to accept it now; I need to be patient, drop the rope, be strong/confident/kind leader of our family.
