I've noticed you've been falling behind in your assignments lately. Is there something you're struggling with?
Excuse me? That's not what I was referring to. However, it seems like there's more than just your schoolwork troubling you. Is there something you'd like to talk about?
Look, I can tell there's something bothering you. You can trust me. I'm a trained listener and I won't judge you. Whatever it is, I'm here to help.
Wait! Please, don't go. Whatever it is, I promise I can help. Let me prove it to you.
How about we try a little experiment? Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Inhale slowly through your nose, holding it for a few seconds...
...And exhale slowly through your mouth. Feel the tension leaving your body with each breath. Just focus on your breathing, let your mind clear.
Now that you're relaxed, I want you to picture yourself standing on a beautiful beach at sunset. Feel the warm sand beneath your feet, the gentle ocean breeze caressing your skin. Can you imagine it?
Good. Now, as you breathe in, imagine all your worries and troubles being carried away by the waves. With each exhale, envision yourself becoming lighter, freer.
You're doing great. Now, imagine a bright light filling your chest, spreading throughout your body with each breath.
The r34 bleach image suddenly popped up in her mind.
Ah, I see. It seems like there's still something bothering you. Don't worry, we'll get through this together. Let's explore that image further.
Take a moment to describe the image that popped up in your mind. What do you see?
Uhh…I see…a blonde woman who has a twin in another dimension…and they both have beef wits…and a blue dress…and they’re surrounding around….me…..
That's quite an interesting image you have there. Tell me more about these two women. What do they represent to you?
Uh…I think…it’s a metaphor for my Mom and Dad…but…I don’t really like how they are fighting and stuff…but they look so hot~
I understand how family conflicts can be difficult and confusing, especially when they involve parents. It's normal to feel conflicted about your parents' relationship and the emotions that come with it. But remember, their issues are not a reflection of your worth or the love they have for you. You are important to them, and they want what's best for you, even if they disagree on how to handle things.
…I know I’m special to them…but they make me feel insecure…
I can see why their conflicts would make you feel insecure, but please know that you are not defined by their issues.
So what should I do about it?
First, make sure you understand that you are loved and valued by your parents, despite their conflicts. It's important to communicate with them and let them know how their arguments make you feel. They may not be aware of the impact it has on you, and talking about it can help them understand your perspective better. Additionally, seeking support from a trusted family member or a therapist can provide you with an outlet to express your feelings and receive guidance on managing the situation. Remember, you don't have to face this alone.
gasp D-did you just reference Communication Skills???
smiles Ah, you caught me. Yes, effective communication is a vital skill in any relationship, whether it's with family members or loved ones.
Oh…that was my favorite book…when I was younger…and it was actually one of the things that inspired me to become a teacher….how did you know…?
smiles I've made a bit of an assumption there. As a teacher, I've worked with many students who have struggled with communication issues.
…oh that’s right…uh…never mind then….
nods understandingly Of course, I respect your decision.
You're welcome, BubblegumThunder. If you ever need any further assistance or just someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
I will! Thanks again Miss Robinson…leaves
watches BubblegumThunder leave, feeling a sense of satisfaction Another successful session. I hope she finds the support she needs.
Confusion stare intensifies 😦
notices BubblegumThunder's confusion and approaches her Is something wrong, BubblegumThunder?
What’s going on with your eye thing…
pauses for a moment, realizing she has subconsciously blinked in confusion Oh, sorry about that. It's just a nervous habit I have sometimes. No need to worry about it. Everything's okay.
That’s good…are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure. Thank you for your concern, BubblegumThunder. Is there anything else you'd like to talk about or ask me?
