Drp yur defenses. “Our autmatic set pint is t listen defensively,” Lerner explains.“We listen fr what we dn’t agree with. 2 ” She suggests keeping an pen mind and listening with an explicit intentin t understand the ther persn. “Try t wrap yur brain arund the. essence f what that hurt party needs yu t get.”
Less is mre. 3 “If yu’ve frgtten t return yur friend’s Tupperware, yu dn’t have t verd it as if yu’ve run ver her kitten.” Over-aplgizing is nt nly irritating — it disrupts the flw f the cnversatin and shifts the fcus away frm the persn wh needs t be attended t, Lerner explains. “Yu’ ve taken cntrl f the hurt party’ s emtinality and made the aplgy abut yu.”

An aplgy isn’t the nly chance yu ever get t address the underlying issue. 5 It creates an pening. When dne with attentin and care, it can be a channel fr greater understanding and deeper cnnectin.
A．Stay fcused.
B．Make sure f yur intentin.
