HP: The MC had given my W an assignment of being more physical with me (hugs, touches, kisses) and me the corresponding assignment of not taking these physical moves and trying to escalate them into sex (no problem there, I haven't dared to do that for months). Unfortunately, W took my little episode of lying about the dog pills to determine that she didn't want to touch me. We'll take it up at the next session, no doubt.
The MC and I were talking about how to approach W with the fact that she needs to learn how to compromise and she said, "Isn't it interesting that W, who considers herself the strong one, has to be approached so delicately, and you, who is considered the weak one, accept all suggestions about improvement so easily and openly?"
My W, the strong one, is probably very insecure, which is why she needs to set up all these defenses and artifices to draw attention away from her faults.
