Living in the past?
Are You Grieving The Past, Or Are You Stuck In It?
Two competing psychological views on whether reconciling with your past sets you free or keeps you stuck, argued out and resolved in plain terms.
Protecting the past?
You’re Not Protecting A Future. You’re Protecting An Old Wound.
Your caution is usually an old memory in disguise, and how unresolved history quietly repeats itself in your relationships, health, career...
It hurts to walk away...
Stop Grieving The Life That Never Happened
Walking away? Why walking away hurts so much and how to stop mourning the future you imagined so you can build the one you actually want...
I am glad you told me.
“I’m Really Glad You Told Me That.”
How you react to someone's honesty decides if they ever tell you the truth again. This is the reaction that keeps doors open.
The most important part is...
“What’s The Most Important Part Of This For You?”
Most fights are about two different versions of the same conversation. This habit closes that gap before it starts. Communication is key...
Let me make sure of that.
“Let Me Make Sure I Actually Got That.”
Most fights are about two different versions of the same conversation. This habit closes that gap before it starts.
I could be wrong
“Before Anything, I Could Be Wrong About This.”
Certainty makes people suspicious. Here's why admitting you might be wrong is the more attractive, more trustworthy move.
What does that look look like?
“What Does This Look Like From Where You’re Standing?”
Stop arguing your point louder. This question gets you the other person's real perspective, fast. Get the information before you argue...
Sounds like that's important to you
“It Sounds Like That Was Really Important For You.”
Stop hijacking people's stories with your own. This one empathetic response makes anyone feel truly heard.
