Erasmus,
It is good to see your progress. I enjoy reading about your learning from Mark Chamberlain. I do want to say something about the hand on your heart. This is so you can calm yourself as you think. However, my husband and I, when we felt alone in bed or had thoughts of "wow this is hard to do" we would put our hand on the other's heart and just breathe. And sometimes look each other in the eyes. There in our eyes we could see what the other could not say. Hurt, love, sometimes anger. But we touched. Body contact when talking about this is so important. It keeps you grounded to the other person.
And the exercises you are working on are to bring you in tune with your emotions. To help you reconnect the wiring that became re-routed. Acknowledging feelings and emotions and how we feel is hard. Not just the PA but also the wives. Hope you have or have had a good day.
