Summarise a Difficult Conversation You Need to Have

There's a conversation you've been putting off, and the reason it feels impossible is you don't yet know what you want out of it. This boils the situation down to one factual sentence and pins down what you need to be true afterwards, before you open your mouth. For anyone rehearsing a hard talk in the shower.

**Prepare the conversation summary:**
1. What is the situation in one factual sentence (no emotion, no story)?
2. What do you want to be true after this conversation that is not true now?
3. What is the one thing you most need the other person to understand?
4. What is the one thing you are most afraid they will say, and how will you respond?
