She gave me the "false hope" speech on several occasions.
Oh yeah, that's a popular one! My DB coach put it like this - they are convincing themselves of this more than they are trying to tell you that. If they didn't feel any glimmer of hope at all, they wouldn't have any hope to try to squash.

shockeddad, I'll do my best.
My DB coach said my W may have been looking right at me when she said that, but she may have really been talking to herself. She was feeling hope and she needed to tell herself there was no hope to keep herself on track. IOW, she had to squash that glimmer of hope she was feeling.
