Second roller coaster ride (2)

[Ready2Change]

You remember what happened above, and so while she’s spewing her anger, you think to yourself “oh here we go again, one of these temporary uncomfortable situations. I remember last time when it actually wasn’t so bad and I ended up having a great day.”

Then you say to her “Wow, sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate. Must be overwhelming.”

Then you say “I’ve got something on shortly, I’d better run. Cya!”

You’ve validated how she feels, but you haven’t ruined your day or mood or engaged in her pity party - nor tried to fix anything for her.
