My therapist called me a ******, and now he's calling from strange numbers.

When he calls me Monday I'll be sure to tell him exactly how I feel and how I won't be coming back.

Negative sir.

You call him.

You tell him.

Your conversation on your terms. You start it, you end it.

Why? Because you're going to be apprehensive about the confrontation up until it happens. Every time the phone rings, your heart is gonna skip a beat and your brain is going to release fight or flight chemicals into your blood and honestly, flight will probably take over. It's not that you're a p*ssy, it's a conditioned response that you're not used to, so you need to work on it. You need to practice becoming comfortable with confrontation, just like you need to practice anything you want to be good at. Waiting on him to initiate it puts him in a position of power that could prevent you from saying what's on your mind.

I know you don't think it matters who initiates the conversation, but trust me it does.

Initiating the conversation on your terms with your goal in mind is as important as having the conversation itself.

Trust me. You can do this.

Gotcha. Just so we're clear I don't have a problem with confrontation with strangers; its with people I know, who push my boundaries.

Lots of people are like that, especially with people we respect.

I can never seem to check my father, but he's got dad-power over me so :manny:.

I'm not saying that it's gonna be easy, but it's absolutely necessary and you're gonna feel like a goddamn super saiyan when it's over.
