Reframe a Difficult Conversation You Have Been Avoiding

You have been rehearsing it and postponing it for a week. This reframes the avoidance: the real cost of not having it, the realistic outcome rather than the feared one, and the one sentence that opens the conversation without making things worse. Two sentences about what it is and what you are dreading.

You need to have a difficult conversation and have been putting it off. Describe in two sentences what it is and what you are afraid will happen: [write here].

Reframe it across three angles: (1) what is the cost of not having it, stated plainly; (2) what is the most likely actual outcome rather than the feared one; (3) the one sentence that would open the conversation in a way that makes the feared outcome less likely.
