Explain the situation to him and listen to his encouragement...sometimes he's right!
Start a conversation about anything and we will end up there.
What does this mean?

I think the more we talk, the more I know what you need encouragement about. I just mean when we talk we often end up discussing our stress points in the end.

All she does is listen to my voice and don't take nothing as an answer. Blue can tell when things are not right with me. I must learn her triggers.
Saying help me!!
I am not so good at that...I usually don't know myself what I need until it slaps me in the face...thank you for the therapy last night. I needed it and feel a lot better today. xo

Usually she can pick up when I am feeling down, then she'll rub my hair and everything feels better.
I tell her about the challenge I'm facing & what I think about it. Since she is an optimist, she always encourages me to do what's right.
Tell her that I need her.
I try to tell him. I frequently internalize things for a while before bringing them up so I'm trying to be better about doing it quickly.

By making a hope call
The best thing she could do us acknowledge and most of all her smile is melting to me... A smile with me goes a long way ... It shows she cares
