Who are you?

I thought it would be fun to ask my husband what he saw in me since I discovered Meridian Therapy & Tapping (MTT). I'm aware of profound and dramatic changes, and so I’m curious about what he is noticing. So, without further ado, here are my husband's comments.

 Who is this mildly (undiagnosed) OCD woman I love? In the last few months, I’ve been shaking my head, wondering who she’s become. 

I'm ADHD proud and manage my life okay. I do screw up occasionally, but a disordered life is my norm. Can you imagine our dynamic? This last month, I made a serious scheduling blunder. I wasn't present for Marnie at an event I should have been at. She was rightly hurt and angry.  And then she just let it go. Completely.  

Marnie likes order. In the past, when I interfered with her routine, that would rile her. Now, if I get in the way, she might give me the stink eye (usually followed by a kiss) and laughs it off. 

Marnie is tough on herself. But the other day, when she spilled wet coffee grounds right before a call, I heard a laughing expletive, then she let me clean it up and got on her call without chastising herself. 

I'm a risk manager, and when something goes wrong, my professional response is to ask if anyone was hurt.  If the answer is, "no," then I dismiss it with, "Okay. We'll deal with it and get back on track."  Marnie never used to buy into that.  Now she does. 

Marnie has been more outgoing the last few months, including joining me in social settings where she doesn’t know anyone, instead of telling me to go without her. 

She is more fluid.  She is resilient when things don't go well, and she accepts when they do. 

I now see a woman who is not restrained by preconceptions, who is not nearly as reactive as she was, and who is kinder and gentler to herself and to her very blessed life partner.
