And he is in agreement with my ideas about how he should be involved. So today we discussed ideas of how to best customize the diary card to fit my own issues. And how to quantify those 0-5 scales, because I am generally at a loss with those subjective scales. He had some good ideas, and I'm going to work on it while he's gone.
Oh, and his itinerary was in error. He'll be back Friday, so it'll only be one week. And he apologized for his poor choice of words last week. He says that he was thinking aloud, and that he sometimes forgets that when he starts with the beginning of a thought with the intent of working all the way through it, that I get scared that the end result will be something that I don't like. So he said he'd try to keep that in mind.
And I reminded him of the results of flaming amygdala attacks. That he needs to say all the good stuff *first*, then the bad stuff. Because once he says the bad stuff, the chemical reactions start happening and it's hard to get back to normal quickly.
Altogether a nice session.
