Does anyone have any suggestions on a book or books I could read to help me along with this? The reason being is I can't see her again until 5/8. That feels like such a long time for me to keep myself on track without her help.


I think IC is great, but I think you should be working on your issues all the time, not just when you are with IC.

What about that list I posted?

It sounds like you have a number of things you can start working on:

- anger
- controlling
- insecure
- taking H for granted
- anxiety/depression


I mentioned controlling, and I would venture that your "demeaning" behavior is tied to that.

So which of these do you think really apply? Why do you think you are like that?
