The above are from my study notes and don't flow very well. I will refine in time, if that's OK.
Following my red faced goof I wanted you to have them. I am planning a thread on the difference between a walkaway and a wayward for the board. But in essence I can't really improve on DB or DR other than to introduce some elements to a post or two.
So once again my apologies.
Are we good?

V thanks for posting this. I look forward to your post about WW vs WAW mostly interested in the difference of how the LBS should act in relation to the WAW (right now from what I understand Sandi's rules are the approach for a WAW). I am fearful that I don't use WW techniques which will actually make matters worse. W and I are currently on slightly better terms we have been communicating everyday over the last 8 days, besides my stupid phone call and an email today she has initiated contact. And I have been the first to go everytime. I did send an email today on advice of my IC that all D discussion should be handled via email as it triggers my anxiety in person. W was understanding of this approach. I am planning to take an extended trip and hope that my time away will help me better GAL.
I do have to admit that the idea of the only way back for WAW is at least 18 months following a D. That really dashes any hope of Rec. I might of had. And the idea of the inevitable D is a bummer. That all said my spirits have been really high all week, I have cried a few times when emotions have hit (I nee dto not suppress them according to IC) but bounced back immediately. And especially in relation to how bad I felt on Thurs and Fri around the stupid call I made I feel great and that bottoming out didn't stick around halleljuah!
