Summary

Olivia has just had a child, she’s tired, suffering from postpartum depression, and is in an angry argument with her husband. Here is Olivia’s Worksheet:

1. I am angry with him because he told me to not talk back.

2. I want him to be gentle and kind with me. I want him to respect me as an adult.

3. He should not patronize his wife, shouldn't be so reactive, and shouldn't be dismissive of how I feel.

4. I need him to show me that he sees me as an equal. I need him to show me that I can trust him to be an emotionally safe space for me.

5. He is mean, arrogant, and controlling.

6. I don’t ever want to feel disrespected or controlled.
