Talked to Cindy today. She has been completely overwhelmed with the group hikes, equipment needs and new information she has been learning. I told her that i am in total denial. But the good news (for her) was that within any system I usually am typically the holder of anxiety. Therefore all she had to do was to wait about a week for reality to set in with me. I will be quick to grab the anxiety baton back and she will be free to be the calm, grounded one again. Being a therapist does not allow escape from these binds, just allows you see it. This whole self-awareness thing is killing me!
