Stick to the facts, e.g.
'He is fat.'
'He said I did a bad job.'
'She punched me.'
'She didn't praise me.'
It's not about:
- What I think they think
- What I think
- My judgement, characterisation, or interpretation
- How they affected me
- What happened next
- My contribution
- The why
Avoid
- Figurative language
- Poetic language
- Vague language
- Therapy jargon
- Background
- Trivial detail
