found a local counselor that has a regular office and which is not associated with an established church as part of the counseling. However he is a christian counselor and does believe in Solution Focused Therepy (altho he has not heard of Michelle) In my initial telephone conversation with him he did seem to believe in a lot of Michele's views though. Have an initial one on one with him for next Thursday night at 7:30 - If I don't like him then I will not go back If I do then I will not push C to go to him but rather will just let on how good he is and how much I like him. If she want to go then great - if not then I am going for me anyway.
Had a good IM from C yesterday am - told me about her going to see Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Cats" on Wed night. she had bought 2 tickets with the idea of taking her employee as a kind of bonus but after having to let her go she asked one of her Sisters to come up and go. at the last minute she asked her other two sisters to meet them and maybe be able to get two more tickets at the door - they did and she said they all had a good time. We IMed a little on that some and some other general chit chat but I stayed offline most of the afternoon and had no contact.
Went to gym last night and had good workout and noticed that when I got back that my caller ID showed she had called while I was out. I called her back and we talked for about 40 minutes
