    Book Group Chapter 2: Pain is a Danger Signal -- discussion of The Way Out by Alan Gordon

    I love your practical examples above. I too start out strong with boundaries, keeping things simple, etc. Then right before the event question and undermine my original plan. Ugh! I will try to answer the questions with "so what if........". I think that will help alot!
