Upon meeting with my therapist, he brought up a point that resonated with me. I allow people to have too much power over me. When I'm upset about something, I show that emotion to them. Then, instead of focusing on what upset me, they focus on the fact I'm upset. They push to make it so I'm not upset anymore but we never address the initial problem. I'm learning to take a step back and address the problem with the individual when I have cooled down and know we can keep the original issue as the focal point of our conversation. I will not let others have power over me. I'm a strong individual. And I intend to empower myself even more.
