Hello there! Thank you for your time.

I’ve noticed in my thought downloads, I have a lot of thoughts that are “I like/don’t like,” or “I want/don’t want,” and it seems to me that they express both a thought and a feeling at the same time. So in doing the work in the Organize Your Life & Mind workbook, I find I’m not sure how to categorize these statements from my head. Your perspective on this would be appreciated.

Also, the following is my TDL and models from this morning, and I would like feedback on how I’ve done the models.

Doug and I fought today. Sort of. He was upset, got loud. I guess I got a little loud too. More about my reasons for divorce and what I want going forward. I just really don’t want to talk about it anymore. But I’ve noticed that anyway–I don’t like to talk relationship-stuff. It’s very uncomfortable, and I think I just don’t understand relationships well. I can do animals. People, not so much. Even though I’m very friendly and outgoing. I guess it’s intimacy. Emotional intimacy. I just don’t know how to deal, I guess. Maybe I can figure it out. I hope so. The more I think about it, the more I think I DON’T want another “relationship.” Romantic, non-sexual, whatever. I just want friends that I really connect with. I think. And myself. This learning about myself stuff sucks sometimes, but it’s interesting too. There are things I do/think that I had absolutely no idea about.

FACTS
Doug’s voice got louder. My voice got louder. Doug asked what I want from him.
