Therapy tells all

We found this therapist who has done us a world of good. At times she is like a meditator for our fights, other time she gives us perspective and other ways of communication.

1. step back and just chill
2. ownership of words and actions. sticking to it.
3. its not only the end result but the process
4. one is a doer and one is a talker
5. on/off button that takes me out of the limelight

And ... Action

After months of refusing her San was able to put me into front of the camera and made me a star (Attribute it to her lawyering trait of persistence and flattery and pleading). The filming was done over the weekend, and will debut at next year's Women of Color Film Festival, and if its really good, International Film circuit. Friday and Saturday nites we had a breakdown spiraling out of control and it still came down to differences between how we operate. I told her that I didnt want to practice with her and she thought I didnt care. I find sometimes when we go down this path, it makes us put up shields and lose control of the way we communicate. Evntually we calmed down and she had to loosen control and let us practice our lines that nite. We came together and did a good rehearsal. We gave it our best artistic expression and finished it on Sunday after around 4pm. My house was put back into order whereupon I was relieved. Although the lighting was off, the characters forgot their lines, we didnt have a camera man at some pt, and everyone was tense by the end of the weekend, we, San and I, pulled it off. Somehow.
