I just realized the difference between Ginny or Anne or anyone, and Laurie. It's never been quite as hard for me to be emotional and real with Laurie as with others and I'd wondered why for a long time.. Ginny has asked me why.. but I just couldnt say. I realized that Ginny conducts sessions almost completey in questions, where Laurie uses many, many more statements than questions. Just a difference of "did that feel hurtful to you" versus "..and that was really hurtful" at the end of some story or something. It seems so minor but our brains are so complex that I think I'm tricking myself into staying congitive with questions. I'm making it into an interview, not a conversation. I really do think that's it.
Now that I've realized that, it helps.. but I'm still left with the same problem. Learning to be emotional and real in this relationship. Because that's as good a lesson as any other probably.
