Moving the blanket away from the castle

[Arsene]

He also helped me realize that I have to be careful between that fine line of protecting myself, and coming across as rejecting him. resenting him, etc

This includes eye contact. I have lately been avoiding eye contact because i don't want to see what he thinks of me. So I want to work on that.

Thanks for pointing this out Busting. It is something which I struggle with as well. Whenever I try to detach, to protect myself, I feel like I always come across as cold and even upset and, it is difficult for me to maintain eye contact.

I'll try to focus on this next interaction. Like your coach says, I don't really want W to think I'm angry or resentful. I would still want her to appreciate our time together but just not as much of it.
