[...] So she would try to see how far she could go before I would call her on it and begin a “mini-lecture,” pointing out that her attitude toward other people was largely responsible for her difficulties.

Your (to Brad) attitude, changed, will automatically alter her attitude as she reacts to the change in yours. [...]

[...] Now this is all a result of your own attitude, and she has reacted to that attitude, and reinforced it, because she wants to be dominant. [...]

It is according to your attitude. [...]

[...] Do help encourage him in a more playful attitude.

Your encounter with Leonard (tonight) was beneficial, because it allowed for expressions of friendliness on all of your parts, and the suspension of disapproving attitudes.

[...] Not only that, but his recovery can be fairly easy, but your joint habits of pessimism color your attitudes. [...]

Now: you have begun to change that attitude. [...]

(I also stressed that our changing attitudes would be sure to change our attitudes toward others—that instead of trying to act “normally” toward strangers when they came here, especially when they were unannounced, we should simply be ourselves, secure in the abilities of our own natures; if any of these actions could be taken as “flamboyant” in a negative way, then so be it. [...]

[...] I want those sessions read again that I gave about his attitudes toward “work.” [...]
