During my T session we talked about why I don't address conflict even when angry (if someone has wronged me). I simply don't and my T said that that's the type of behavior for someone who gets treated like a doormat.

My assignment is to stick up for my self in situations of being wronged by others. I told her I would try. She said that I am a powerful person but I am faking it about not being powerful ( I would however speak up for my children for example just not for myself etc..). I simply just feel like GACK! - I can't (when wronged by someon) talk and then I run away - and then deal with my anger some other way.

Anyone else conquer this???
