Screaming

I told Dr. Sara this week that I sometimes feel like I'm screaming (metaphorically-- I very rarely scream) at a brick wall. She said, "Maybe it's time to start whispering."

So, yes, I can see the wisdom in this. Instead of stating my position over and over again, and trying to explain, and reiterating, and generally exhausting myself with the effort to make people understand, maybe it is time to whisper. This means holding the line, but maybe not defending myself verbally. It means keeping my boundaries in place, but maybe not explaining why. It means being quiet.

And I think I can do that.
