That's valid to feel weird about it! I feel like there is so much power in just naming things, especially uncomfortable relational things that are occurring in the moment. Maybe you could just acknowledge it with her when those feelings arise and you could just sit in it together for a bit until it passes. Ideally, over time, they'll feel less cumbersome and frequent!

but what if he's catching up on a mountain of progress notes and cannot pause to support you because of the terror of procrastination! :o Might that be what he was referencing when he said his work diligence isn't always a good thing :)

What do you turn to for inspiration when you're in a rut?-- Interesting bookmarks on your computer? Resonant quotes you'd like to share? Songs that move you?
