Should I initiate R talk?

Advina,

I just thought about this a bit more and I think you are right. It was passive aggressive behaviour on my part. I think I've used that all my life to make people feel guilty about things. It's another one of the 180s I'm trying to take. The problem is, I don't always catch myself at it. It's something I'm planning to talk about in C this week (my 1st session).

Should I address this in my reply? Now that would really validate how she felt. She was totally right. I've always used humour that way. I really have to turn this around.

I could add something like: "I never meant it consciously but I think that you are right and that this might be part of the behaviour I need to (and will) work on."

Thank you so much. This is a breakthrough for me. I never noticed before how I did this.
