Shannon's OF 5.75G Experience

[Shannon]

I can tell OF is very stressful for GF. It's working now with a lot of things in her past that are painful for her, and which intertwine heavily and represent a thick layer of tangled webs. She's not having an easy time of it, and her stress and anxiety is high right now. At the same time, I have never seen her handle this sort of thing as well as she is handling it right now.

In dealing with her and her responses, my stress levels have been up too. But I also have not seen myself deal with her this way before. I'm a lot calmer, less affected by her stress, more prone to keeping my mouth shut when opening it might be misunderstood. Also a lot more patient and accepting of "what is" and what will happen if she responds in any particular manner.

Still very tired. So is she.

This is where the rubber meets the road. This is going to be the point where I see just how well I scripted the part where the program figures out the way to achieve its goals in difficult cases. So far I'm seeing a lot of progress from her, so that's good.
