I thought it was huge, too. How did you get to huge?

Yes, right. Right. Do you want to push it up to a higher level, Rhonda?

Yes, right. Right. Do you want to push it up to a higher level, Rhonda?

Okay, that will move from externalization of voices to feared fantasy. And Jason, Matt, and David will be the audience from hell. This is an imaginary world. This is not assertiveness training. And in this imaginary world, if you think that people are going to be judging you, they really do.

and they actually get right up in your face and say the things that you think other people would be thinking but would never dare to say to you. So you can confront the monster that you've been afraid of and see if the monster has teeth. Are you okay with that, Rhonda?

Do you remember before your talk today, you were saying that people were going to notice there was something wrong with your presentation and you were thinking that you'd look like a fool. And then you decided that it's OK to make mistakes and that people seem to love you and accept you as human. And that's freeing.

That's what you said, right? Right. Yeah, but I heard your talk today, and I noticed a lot of ways you screwed up in the presentation. And I think you did look like a fool, and I judge you as a fool.

No, I think you're uneducable, and I don't really have time to go about teaching you. I'm on a much higher level. Yeah. I want to spend my time with more important people.
