SadHub (or anyone else who wants to chime in), can you talk more about using the "act as if" strategy in MC?

Act as if what?

It's been a week since H told me he is going to "try to stay and see if we can reconnect." We haven't had an R talk all week, and I am very anxious to learn more about how he thinks things are going, I'm biting my tongue hard to avoid starting a talk now. Less than 24 hours until our counseling appointment, and I know it will be better to wait to have the talk in the session.
