Self Discovery and Love at First Fight…
Hi Bruce Thanks for all your great work with the course. This is our second time with the course, and this time stuff is locking in much better than the first time. One thing id like to comment on is how much more I am aware of my own fear and anxiety ( in my body) when my wife and I start to discuss an idea, or a stressor, or an issue. I can feel I tighten up very early, am on the defensive very quickly from the get-go, and taking a stand - worried that i won't be able to deliver whatever the anxiety brings up, or discuss with my wife without feeling inadequate, or wrong, or not good enough. The more aware Ive become with this anxiety in my body, the softer I feel im becoming, more able to hang in during difficult conversations. Im understanding more now the link between my earlier life and how it has shaped me. Things are improving between us, we are both calmer, and I do realize im going to have to keep practicing the skills and rituals. Thanks Bruce for all your fantastic work -it moves the emotions inside me as im writing this.

Hi Shane, I love that you're doing the course a second time. It takes guts to notice the moment your body tightens and still choose to stay in the conversation, and it sounds like that awareness is already changing the whole rhythm between you two. That’s solid work on your part, and I’m grateful you took the time to so openly share it. - Bruce.
