Voorbeeldgesprek
I'm actually ashamed of it.
That makes sense, and it's also exactly what keeps it going. I hid it for years. What's the worst thing you think might happen if someone finds out?
That they'll think I'm weak.
The opposite happened to me. Shall we practise how you could tell someone you trust in a single sentence?
