J is particularly good at playing devil's advocate, helping me tease out the subtleties of what I'm thinking/doing. I also find that talking to detractors helps me identify what I want or like about the thing/situation/choice (much as your conversation with the counselor) and also helps me see the potential pitfalls. Sometimes I wish I had more detractors in my life, or people who were more willing to speak up--might not have gotten married, for example, though that's probably too much to ask of a detractor.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to hear more about this decision, I must say.Naryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369280617520806983noreply@blogger.com
