Practise and review

Identify the concern beneath a strong reaction, without assuming the concern is justified — or dismissing it.

Out in the world

  1. 1When you notice a strong reaction, name it: anger, fear, defensiveness.
  2. 2Ask: what does this person — or what do I — want to protect?
  3. 3Respond to the concern first, before the argument.
