This is a YouTube video titled "You Don't Have To Be So Hard On Yourself #recoveryjourney #addictionrecovery #addictiontreatment" (created 2025-05-21) featuring Amber Hollingsworth speaking in a spoken segment about communication and recovery. Amber advises against mentally rehearsing how others will respond—arguing that doing so causes you to miss what the other person is conveying, fosters assumptions, and can trigger old relational cycles. The excerpt appears to be a monologue or single-speaker segment offering interpersonal and recovery-related advice.

Chapters

It's sort of subconscious, but you actually miss what the other person is trying to convey to you because even though they're saying words, what you're hearing is what you've already rehearsed in your mind as far as how this conversation's going to go. So while I do think it's helpful to think through what you're going to say, I think it's dangerous to think through how the other person's going to respond because that's going to put you back in the position to make a lot of assumptions. And it's most likely going to trigger you back into the same old cycles that you have with this person.
