Ironically we had talked earlier in the group about being assertive. I feel i was assertive though. I stood my ground and definitely didnt become aggressive or totally passive. She just used a louder voice and talked over me(which felt aggressive to me). I wrote the first post when i got home and was still "dialed up" and really upset. I still am upset but now it feels more irritated than the angry panicky confusion of yesterday. I dont see my therapist again until the day after the next group so i think im going to go and try and be assertive. If worse comes to worst i can always just walk out and feel confident i handled it to the best of my ability. I really wanted to make it to all of them though and was working on talking myself into going on the outing but i doubt im rational enough now to go even if i could cause im more interesting in spiting the t haha.
