Phase 1
Communication can break down in many ways. Typically it is because:
One or both people don’t feel understood
One or both people become defensive
One or both people launch attacks
One or both people pile on all, or many, things wrong
One or both people become emotionally overwhelmed.
One or both acts out abusively.
Why not try to achieve different outcomes? Are you ready for a self-facilitated alternate process that could change you and the other’s patterns?
