Episode notes
Open Softly To Decrease Defensiveness
- Start conflicts softly by using curiosity, ownership, or clear-and-direct openings instead of blame or sarcasm.
- Ask questions like "What would actually make you feel more supported?" to shift toward solutions.
Stay Focused On One Issue
- Keep fights focused on a single issue and avoid dredging up past failures with "always" or "never" statements.
- Say "Right now what's important is..." to steer the conversation to one solvable problem.
Emotion Underlies Most Arguments
- Hear the emotion behind words because many fights are about connection, not control.
- Acknowledge feelings first to disarm defensiveness and lead with empathy.
