Stepping in Should
As we walked back to our offices I said, “Good group, I
liked the way you had them see the source of their frustration and the way they
express it aren’t always connected.”
A smile crossed Abigail’s face. She nodded. “Thank you.”
We walked a step or two further and her posture stiffened.
She said, “I should have spent more time talking about the consequences of not
dealing with frustration.”
“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. The group learned something.”
“Yes, but I should have gotten into the connection between
being easily frustrated early in recovery and brain chemistry.”
“Well, it’s over. I suggest you quit shoulding on yourself,”
I said. I had the feeling she’d be doing just that the rest of the afternoon.
Today I won’t should on myself.
