Eep! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll just put the list here:
- Giving advice
- Changing the subject
- Dismissing feelings
- Leading questions
- Devil's advocate
- Sympathy (e.g. "I know exactly what you're going through...")
- Commiserating
- Defensiveness
- Static labeling
- Sarcasm
- Shutting down
- Intellectualizing
- One-upping
- Storytelling Not saying these are all bad all the time. Just things to maybe start noticing. See what happens when you just hold off on these types of reactions for a moment. You don't even have to do anything. Just... chill. Be silent. Think about what the person said. I've found this is a more actionable place to start than something like "read this book" or "take this course" |
