Like I said above, I brought up my kids. The guardian issue was huge for us when they were younger too. But they are so big now, that isn't really an issue anymore.
Is it hard to know that your therapist is worrying about you? You've been with him for a long time...are you glad that he cares? Or does it make you feel like a burden? I feel both things.
Perhaps the correct response is just to respond...to make the person think twice or three times. We talked about the difference between thinking about it and feeling it. The feelings get so thick that the ability to analyze reasons rationally can't get through. So he said we have to work on that piece when we can and go for counter-response feelings as well. "Kind of like boxing," he told me. "Better to stay out of the ring but if you find yourself there, keep your gloves up and stay out of corners."
Such a "guy" things to say...
