Dear Linda,
Sometimes we forget that we have excellent skills to cope with this.
The skills we use in councelling with mothers.
I read that you want to turn this doctor opinion around.
And you are looking for a reference.
What are your needs? What do you want?
What are the needs of this doctor? What is he wanting?
I read that you were having a conversation. Great!!!!
A think it is a great opportunity to get to know each other view and
build a relationship based on trust and space (for each other views).
Is this helping for you.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
