Sure it triggers...it just doesn't stop the crisis...the issues still must be resolved.

I think it goes back to what Jim Conway said about denial extending the process and acceptance speeding it.

I don't think Acceptance really speeds it up so much as perhaps makes it the length it would be with no LBS interference.

Interference not necessarily meaning an LBS trying to fix...but can include tha panic and begging...things that add to MLCer guilt.

I totally believe Sweetheart could have been in this much longer had I not reacted as I have.

But newbies get these expectations that Db will solve all of their probelms now...and that's not how it works.
