Appreciate this post. Especially the Carver example. The other story, for me, was too elliptical and atmospheric. What work did the couple do besides try to one-up each other with past trauma? But my quibble with that story doesn't take away from the excellence of this post and the commentary on "Popular Mechanics." Thank you.
Interesting idea. I’m going to try this.
I hope it bears fruit for you!
Excellent post and very helpful. Will recommend.
