Rehearse a Difficult Conversation with AI Before the Real One

State the goal, your opening, and relevant context without unnecessary private detail. Ask AI to play a neutral, skeptical, and confused counterpart. Practise responding with facts, boundaries, and questions. Write one shorter opening after the rehearsal and use that in the real conversation if it still fits.
