I need to tell someone off but I already know I’m going to be close to tears when I do. And I don’t want her to see me crying.

And please spare me any mention of how it is okay to cry. That’s not why I’m here.

    Take deep, slow breaths and be mindful of how the air flows through your body when you think you might cry - train it beforehand.

    Keep telling yourself that you are now communicating facts and what you say is not personal - maybe have a little trinket, and every time you take that trinket in your hand you know that now is “fact-time”.

    Those things help me when situations get emotionally difficult.
