"You’re right. What they said was unacceptable, and it is so brave of you to stand up to them like you did. I’m so proud of you.

It must have been so difficult to do what you did. I know. I know. Today must have been really hard. But you did what you knew you had to do, what you wanted to do.

I’m here now. Let me take care of you. You can tell me everything that you’re feeling. I know. You feel like all the control has been taken from you, and not in the way you want, hmmm.

Shhh. It’s okay. I’m here for you now. You do know I know how to make you feel better, hmmm? How to quiet your mind? That’s right. Hmmmm

Let’s finish up in here, and I’ll dry us off, okay? Then I want you to go straight to the bedroom. Don’t get dressed."
