Thanks Falls, I almost missed this post! Glad I didn't. Yep, I'm like you, I need direct, but caring, someone to light a fire under my butt, even though that's VERY scary to me. I'm really looking forward to the next session, I have a million questions. He didn't do anything I didn't like this time, just didn't understand, and I'm sure there's a reason, I just have to think on my feet, and ask at the time so I don't dwell on it. Oh, I know he can stand the heat, esp. since I called him on all the stuff from the first session, and he said he appreciated the way I approached him, not in a mad way, just in an assertive way. I do like him, and I think the relationship will be good.Thanks again!
