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 would happen if someone knew?
That they'd think I was weak.
The opposite happened for me. Shall we practise how you could tell someone you trust in a single sentence?
