Relationship Communication Framework: Talker steps (sharer of feelings): 1- How have they gotten better at the behavior that upset you? "I want to begin by thanking you for...." 2-How were they possibly innocent because other factors influenced their behavior, such as their upbringing and circumstances? "And I want to acknowledge that..." 3- What did you do that may have influenced their hurtful behavior? How is your reaction intensified from wounds or values in your past? "I also want to acknowledge that..." 4- Express your complaint without "you" or "always/never," along with your core needs. "There's been a pattern of __________ and it's made me feel __________ and it taps into my core need for __________." Listener steps: 1- Summarize their complaint to ensure you heard it correctly. "So, what I hear you saying is __________." (50% rule) 2- Take ownership of the part you're owning without excuses starting with "I know that l've had a tendency to...." 3- Make an empathy statement on how the part you're owning probably made them feel. "I can see how my tendency to __________ would make you feel __________." 4- Make a sincere apology on the part you're owning. "I'm really sorry that my tendency to __________has made you feel __________." 5- Make amends by offering something that could make the other person feel better and ask for their feedback.
