Yes. That is terrific. I like written stuff too. I have difficulty remembering stuff from sessions too. Hard stuff has a hard time sinking in. But that is good stuff. Do ya reckon??

Paradox
Suprise
The unexpected.
I am an active information processor
etc etc.
Yeah.
There is a lot of truth in that.So you aren't going to run away, eh?

Take care of yourself when you are feeling vulnerable.
But it is a good sign.
Don't know if this will make much sense but it is when you feel vulnerable that the boulders can move on the inside.
