Dear Anita,

I am the same way about that topic and OK with generalities. I agree.

Oh what I meant to say is the work that I was doing yesterday was using your prompts that you typed out – and my subsequent responses, I read it out loud to my husband. I called it a workshop, it’s just a term I used. It made it fun. As you saw with you – I bolded each topic and then wrote an answer underneath.

So later in the evening – I read all of that out loud. It was so incredibly therapeutic and productive for me. For a moment I felt strange literally reading everything out loud to my husband like we were in school. But it was so helpful, and allowed him to put his own input in, and I calmly listened.

I am considering couples therapy with the PhD. To be quite honest I don’t have too much expectation for either, because I know that the real work is in the mindfulness and the daily awareness and non rushing. However, it will be insightful to at least try and see what these professional individuals have in their toolbox
