Yes, I'm slowly learning how to be a part of my own life. And, absolutely, I was EXPERT at putting on a persona. I can remember my teenage daughter getting right to the point, saying "Mom, you're wearing that fake smile!" She hated the fake smile.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951750886078196828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9520508.post-70174352008498907662010-05-26T10:39:39.000-06:002010-05-26T10:39:39.000-06:00reading this post was right on time for me. thanks...reading this post was right on time for me. thanks for the reminder on the important use of "I."<br /><br />;-)Mia M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07923728580585181770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9520508.post-22675983822184621612010-05-25T19:14:21.933-06:002010-05-25T19:14:21.933-06:00As you say, speaking in the first person, making &...As you say, speaking in the first person, making "I" and "me" statements, is scary and empowering too. It reduces the blaming we do, and it reveals us to others. I've used it a lot in my marriage, and I think that's one of the reasons we have lasted this long. It's hysterical that it was another CLIENT at the rehab who thumped the idea into you. I thought instructors were supposed to do that!Enchanted Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815997287116818456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9520508.post-18934307943644820272010-05-25T06:23:57.259-06:002010-05-25T06:23:57.259-06:00I think it's great that the instructor is caus...I think it's great that the instructor is causing a little dis-comfort, for lack of better words.
