Good morning, Susan. Did you sleep well last night?
I fell asleep right away, didn't wake up once and didn't have any bad dreams.
Great! You look much more relaxed today.
Much better. But I'm still worried about something.
What's that?
Well, I have to drive to school for a meeting this morning and I'm afraid I may get stuck in the rush hour traffic, and I will be pretty upset.
Don't worry! Just breathe deeply when that happens.
OK, I'll try that.
Is there anything else bothering you?
Just one more thing. A school called me this morning to see if I could teach a few classes this weekend. But I'm supposed to work on a paper that's due on Monday.
Try not to take on more than you can handle.
You're right. I'll probably focus on my paper. Thanks.
