Dear Gigi:

I have questions for you to help me understand what is going on. If you would like to answer me, please do. Here are the questions:

1. You wrote in the first paragraph that it felt like your boyfriend was rescuing you, from what? What did you need to be rescued from?

2. Why did you get married (the one year marriage)? What was the relationship with the short term husband like? Why do you feel guilt about that marriage?

3. You agreed with the therapist who said that you are not used to being vulnerable. Can you elaborate on what you mean by not being used to be vulnerable?
