Dear T,

I have options, I know that, but none of them seem great right now. 1) I don't come. Pros.... I keep control. I keep me safe. Cons.... Hmmmm, I can't think of any. I guess the only con would be that it could make it harder to come back if ever I decided to. 2) I come and don't say anything. Pros... I keep control. Cons.... I will get frustrated at how much it is costing me. 3) I come and we continue to have this really difficult conversation. Pros... I am continuing to try and do the work that I want to do. Cons... I am not in control. You are highly likely to say or do the wrong thing. I am highly likely to leave the session feeling worse than I arrived.

Maybe that wasn't a useful exercise, because looking at it like that, my best option is not to come!
