> She also said that when my son calls, I have the option of really listening, scientifically, to the tone, texture, pitch etc of his actual voice, without putting ANY interpretation on it! This is a huge challenge, but boy, am I up for it!!
That sounds a lot like the mindfulness technique of observing. Watching what is happening with interested inquiry, which helps you separate yourself from it a bit. I've always found the mindfulness techniques very helpful. You've always focused on CBT haven't you? Maybe a pinch of DBT would add to what you've already learned?
Congratulations!
