Keep us posted Jen.

CBT, paired with exercise and more quality sleep seems to be the best treatment for me.

Using some of those Language skills is also important to keeping positive and open.

I’m also learning to accept that we don’t need to be right and how to ask questions so I can understand where the two opinions differ and why. It’s not easy, but I find it easier to think in terms of something is missing let’s figure it out as I practice doing it.

I’m finding that it helps me break things down into the smaller pieces that I normally skip over because they seem obvious to me. It also helps me see the things I miss. A great analogy I read somewhere was about school and Math class. When some kids look at a question they see the answer, it just makes sense to them so they write down the answer, but the teacher will mark it wrong because the work was not shown. The student doesn’t feel the work needs to be shown because the answer is obvious, in fact they may not full understand how they get to the answer so explaining it is frustrating, they just know they are right. To compound the problem, the second part of the question is to show a second way to answer the question. Well I don’t really get it the way you get it, and I can’t explain fully the first answer so how will I ever understand a second way of doing it? That’s the point. Until we see that we get the answer, but are missing the explanation of how we got there we really don’t understand the process and are unable to make changes or adjustments as needed. It’s not about being right, but allowing people the opportunity to understand my answer, and asking the question to understand their answer as well, right or wrong isn’t what matters, it’s understanding that matters.

Wow, I just figured out what I’ve been trying to say to my wife for weeks.
