I'm glad your therapist called you out on the deflection. You, or my sense of you anyway is that you're highly intelligent and a bit of...hmmm, how do I put this....a strong personality, so the fact that he had the mind and balls to call you out screams good therapist to me...along with giving you the power to get into the assault on your own time and terms. It seems he's able to strike a good balance of holding you to account while being compassionate. Not all therapists are that good. That's a story for another day that maybe I need to write about...

Writing and dog snuggling are what I do, as well as getting out into nature. Sleep would be good, but like you, insomnia, so, yeah, no.
