Here is a story to consider.

When I was in group, my biggest fear was that I would say something highly personal and no one would say anything in response, they would all sit there and stare at me.

Well, a few weeks later that actually happened.

In that moment, my first thought was This is what I was afraid of. I'm never going to speak in here again.

But then I realized something: this thing I most feared had happened, but there was no actual disaster. The roof did not fall in, I actually felt okay. I will spare you the details, but soon the whole thing worked out nicely, therapeutically for me.

With this story in mind, one option for you is to think to yourself that the worst has happened, what you most feared...but maybe you can explore a little and see if it really is as terrible as you might have anticipated. Maybe this unwelcome event could become a breakthrough of sorts for you too?
