> I think it's perfectly normal to worry about those things. Even if it's just to worry about how long he can continue at full tilt. Maybe it would help to learn that he is actively taking care of himself?
Ah, I think that's it. I'm worried that some day he'll have a heart attack, or a nervous breakdown (what are those called these days?), or just suddenly be unable to keep going, and then he'll be gone. I had thought that I didn't want to hear about his "self care", because clearly he's taking enough care for things to work well now. But maybe you're right. Maybe that's exactly what I need to hear about. In terms of how this pace can be maintained over the course of my therapy.
Yes, it's all about me. I know. I've already called myself the appropriate names over being so self absorbed. And I know it's allowed when one is trying to suss out the viability of one's own therapy.
