One is to not use words like "always" or "never," when addressing a partner's behavior. Another is to phrase things in terms of "when you ___, i feel ___," rather than "you make me ___." And similar to it, is phrasing things in such a way that makes clear "this is my perception," rather than "this is your intent." Words are powerful and they can provoke powerful emotions. When we play the blame game with words, it creates unnecessary defensiveness and hinders a partner's ability to truly understand where you are coming from. These "techniques" don't come naturally though, especially when one is upset or angry. They require intentional forethought. |
