RIP HIM A NEW ONE
Imagine your ex, your boss, abuser or whichever person caused you the most pain in your life is right in front of you. Tell them ALL of your feelings as if they can hear and respond to you. Be realistic. Embrace the true emotions and sentiments you feel. Cuss them out, scream, argue, console, point your finger, cry, whine, pace or whatever you normally do when you express your feelings. Just be authentic and don't hold anything back! You don't have to act this out alone. You can role play with your girlfriend or sister. The person helping you doesn't need to do anything but hold your hand and listen.
Before you do this task, make sure you're in an environment where you feel comfortable. This task may be difficult to perform because it requires you going to a place in your mind you may have closed in order to protect yourself. Role-playing a scene may be somewhat painful, hurtful, shameful or embarrassing to remember. The idea is to get in touch with some of the feelings you've been holding on to. However, if this exercise is too hard for you do right now, its ok, skip it and come back to it another day.
