Have you ever written out a conversation before it happened?
Not the honest version. The edited one, where you rehearse every word so it lands just right, agree at the right moment, and explain yourself enough that no one is disappointed. You leave the conversation before you have even had it.
Here is a gentle reframe: you are allowed to enter a conversation unscripted. You don't need a flawless version of yourself prepared in advance to be worthy of being heard. Try walking in with one true sentence and letting the rest unfold honestly. God meets us in real conversations, not rehearsed ones.
If preparing every conversation is wearing you down, our Codependency Support Group might be a good place to start. We meet weekly, and every session is $40 with both virtual and in-person options in California. Reach out to us at 661-537-4665 for scheduling, questions, information, or registration.
