Answer 1

You talk 1 problem at a time, so you can start one session talking about an issue and end that session with “ok this week let’s try to do this” which involves some kind of actions to take to improve the behavior in question.

So eventually week after week of doing so you start improving as you start changing your lifestyle one step at a time.

Other times you just want to vent at someone withour being judged and that’s it. They do that too, and it feels good.
