I lost the plot here for a few days. The Christmas holiday had me overly focused on how things "should" be rather than how they are, and I was too focused on W - what is she doing, who is she talking to, etc. I see that now.

They’ll be able to give you guidance on how to identify if you’re truly done so that you’ll be able to move forward with confidence.

I have talked this over with my IC but frankly I don't like him much and am shopping for a new one. I'll keep this in mind, I really like the idea.
