Yeah, I re-read the skills manual and a lot of what's in it is stuff he does in his CBT mode anyway. He'd probably be saying I told you so all the time. Of course, he usually annoys me in his CBT mode, and has to slip it in without my noticing it.
About the diary cards.... I am inordinately sensitive to the idea of transforming the one place I feel safe and nurtured into yet another place where I feel criticized and more than I feel I can do is expected of me. (family, extended family, work, health) If I have one more demand placed on me, even if it's something that will benefit me, I'll just blow a gasket. So any work has to be initiated and sustained by me, with only requested input from him.
I'm sure I'm more sensitive about the idea than I need to be, but I'm terrified of changing the nature of my safe person and being left with nothing that gives and renews rather than demands and depletes.
