Think of someone you’re really, really angry with.
Your ex, your boss, your mother-in-law, that teacher who put you down that one time when you were 15 and you’ve never forgotten it.
Imagine you got the chance to say all the things you wanted to say to them, with no fear of repercussions. That’d feel pretty good, I bet?
Role playing this is one of my favourite coaching tools. I give you the opportunity to get it all of your chest once and for all.
That might be what you need to let that emotion go so you can move on. If not, we can use it as a starting point to prepare you for a difficult, honest, and necessary conversation.
If you’ve got some steam to let off, you know where I am!
