realizations

My eyes dropped from his, glancing around the room, not really noticing anything in particular. I shifted in my seat, under his glaze. Finally, I looked back to him. He was waiting patiently.

What makes this time different? He rephrased.

Everything. I need to change. I'm tired of acting the way I act, of thinking the way I do. I want to be better, for MrB, for my kids, for me...

He nodded. You've been through this before. You can steer me towards any path that you want. But this time, you're really in it.

Who in your life would you want to be like when it comes to managing your anger?

....... no one.

Do you think I'll ever see you upset or angry?

Probably not.

Do you think it would help? Would it help if I could see a tape of you getting angry?

I think so.

Would you want to see it?

Definitely not.

How come?

I'd be really disappointed in myself.

So you hold a higher standard for yourself when it comes to handling your anger?

....I do.
