No, don't hope all goes well.
MAKE it all go well.
It is well within your power to express how you feel, what you want and what you want her to do.
Anger is NOT a bad emotion. The expression of anger does not have to hurt anyone, or make people leave us, or overwhelm us.
We may have been abused as kids, but, you know, we are not kids any more. We are functioning, competent adults, with a will and a spirit of our own. We are now responsible for what happens to us and this is a very very positive thing.
It means:
We can effect change in our environment.
We can ask for what we want and be entitled to receive it.
We can make things better for ourselves now.
We set the "rules for engagement" so to speak, over our bodies, our hearts.
We can ask for help and receive it or deny it on our terms.So don't hope, understand that it is within your power to MAKE it happen.
YOU control therapy. Not her.
