today in therapy we did an interesting little exercise. she sat across from me, leaned toward me, and repeatedly said, ‘yes.’

yes. yes. yes. [sparkle], yes.

and all i had to do was say, ‘no,’ each time she said, ‘yes.’

doesn’t sound all that hard, does it? especially when you know you aren’t actually saying no to anything in particular.

but, i cried. not what i would have expected. i would have expected yelling if anything. but, no.

huh.

who’d a thunk it?
