We second guess assumptions we never thought were in play. We question our own history. We wonder what reality means. We worry if we can recover and keep our relationship. And we struggle to figure out who this man is with whom we have a relationship. In ten audio files (+ an important introduction) I address the following questions that my clients ask most often:

This is a "straight-talking" presentation where I share what I have learned so far, and how I respond to those questions now.
