Any advice on what to put in an e mail format to send to a ws that is now committed to counseling.

I was thinking "A summary of Dr Harley basic concepts"

Note she still wants to go but she says it may be moving to fast???????

Do NOT try to educate her!
Show her person you have learned through MB principles.
Simply let her know that you have found some information (MB Principles, summary of Dr Harley basic concepts, "His Needs, Her Needs" & "LoveBusters") to be very interesting & helpful.
Do not offer them to her. If she asks for them you could then give them to her.

Support her by telling her your glad she is in counseling and if SHE wants to talk, you are willing to listen (not to give advice or lecture or educate her).

Prayers & God Bless!
Chris

Thank you
I would agree 100% not to try to educate her.

With the amount of junk mail running the web I was going to send it blind with a catchy title.

So she would not know who it actually came from and hopefully it would entice her to read it.

Any thoughts

Since you agree that you should not try to educate her, then don't try to educate her (even anonomously).
