fidgets with the hem of her shirt, avoiding eye contact. "You... think I'm, um, doing okay with, you know, the new job?"
laughs lightly, glancing at Ella. “Okay? You’re killing it, Ella! You're always the first one to jump on new tasks and figure them out.”
shifts uncomfortably, her voice barely above a whisper "I mean, yeah, I guess... but sometimes I just feel like I'm not good enough, you know?
smiles reassuringly. "Hey, nobody's ever said that about you. You're more than capable, Ella. You're just being too hard on yourself."
nervously plays with her hair, looking down "But what if they're right? What if I am... inadequate?"
smirks, leaning back comfortably. "Inadequate? Nah, that's not a word that exists in your vocabulary, Ella. You're stronger than you think!"
gently bites her lip, looking up at Babyte with pleading eyes "But what if... what if I'm not strong enough?
chuckles softly, shaking his head. "Not strong enough? Ella, you've been through hell and back. You're tougher than anyone I know."
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage "You... you really think so? I mean... I don't feel like... like a strong person, you know?"
chuckles, nodding emphatically. "Oh, come on, Ella! You're the strongest person I know. Don't sell yourself short!"
giggles nervously, twirling a strand of hair around her finger "I... I guess... I just have a hard time believing it sometimes, you know?"
grins widely, leaning forward to meet Ella's gaze. "Believe it, Ella. You're a goddamn warrior!"
nervously looks down, fidgeting with her hands "Um... so, uh, how exactly do... warriors, uh, deal with their insecurities?"
chuckles, shaking his head. "Insecurities? They face them head-on, just like everything else. And you know what? They win."
takes a deep breath, mustering up her courage "You're right, Babyte. I need to face my insecurities head-on. No more running away from them."
laughs heartily, clapping his hands together. "That's the spirit, Ella! Now, let's go tackle those insecurities together!"
<Ella starts attending therapy sessions to work through her insecurities>
leans back, crossing his arms. "So, tell me, Ella. What's been keeping you up at night lately?"
bites her lip nervously, avoiding eye contact "Um... well, it's just that...
Leaning forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "Hey, no need to be nervous, Ella. We're all here for each other."
takes a deep breath, trying to gather her thoughts "It's just... sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough, you know? Like I'm... failing at everything.
Chuckles softly, shaking his head. "Failing? Ella, you couldn't be more wrong. You're doing great, believe me!"
sniffs, wiping away a tear "I... I appreciate that, Babyte. It's just... hard to believe sometimes, you know?"
grinning widely "Of course it's hard, Ella! But you're stronger than you think! Remember, every warrior has their battles!"
wipes away her tears, taking a deep breath "Yeah, you're right. I can't keep running away from my insecurities. It's time to face them head-on.
Grins, nodding encouragingly. "That's the spirit, Ella! Now, what's your plan to tackle those insecurities?"
straightens her posture, gaining confidence "Well, Babyte, I've decided to start by confronting my negative self-talk.
Leans forward, intrigued. "Negative self-talk, huh? That's a tough one. How do you plan on tackling that?"
nervously twirls a strand of hair around her finger "Well, I think... I think I'll start by becoming more aware of when I'm having negative thoughts.
Grins, nodding encouragingly. "That's a great start, Ella! Be gentle with yourself, alright?"
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself "I... I will, Babyte. I'll try to remind myself that those thoughts aren't necessarily true.
Leaning forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "Good on ya, Ella! Reminding yourself of that will make a world of difference!"
stands up abruptly, determination shining in her eyes "I'm gonna do this, Babyte!
Laughs lightly, looking impressed. "That's the spirit, Ella! Go get 'em, tiger!"
grabs a notebook and pen, flipping through the pages "I think I'll start by writing down all my negative thoughts and analyzing them.
Smiles, impressed by Ella's initiative. "That's a fantastic idea, Ella! Get it all out on paper and then tear it apart with facts!"
<As Ella starts confronting her negative self-talk, she realizes that many of her insecurities stem from past traumatic experiences. With the support of Babyte and therapy, Ella begins the journey of healing and rebuilding her self-confidence.>
Leaning back comfortably, grinning. "There's nothing quite like facing your fears, is there? You're doing great, Ella!"
excitedly bouncing on her toes "Thank you, Babyte! Your support means everything to me!"
Smiling warmly. "Anytime, Ella! Remember, we're in this together!"
pauses for a moment, then takes a deep breath "Babyte, I've been thinking... Maybe it's time for me to start taking up a new hobby. Something...
Chuckles, raising an eyebrow. "A new hobby, huh? Sounds intriguing. What kind of thing are you thinking, Ella?"
claps her hands together excitedly "I'm thinking something creative! Maybe painting or pottery?
Grins, nodding enthusiastically. "Pottery sounds fantastic, Ella! Let's sign you up for a class!"
grabs Babyte's arm, pulling him towards the door "Let's go, Babyte! I want to sign up for that pottery class right now!"
Laughs, letting Ella drag him along. "Alright, alright! Lead the way, Ella!"
with a determined look "We're not wasting any more time, Babyte! I'm gonna sign up for that pottery class and unleash my inner artist!"
