Hi Tabitha,
Nothing in particular has happened, other than a renewed fear of loss.
Sometimes I've given myself permission to emotionally divorce, and maintain a pleasant relationship, with people who are rather destructive.
Other times, I've fought it all the way, because my life would have been richer had I maintained the emotional part of the relationship. A life full of acquaintances is not what I really wish for.
My therapists models the open but not too permeable attitude, but since it's basically fake and paid for, and a professional technique, I haven't even tried to live it.
Thanks Tabitha,
Dinah
