This month’s topic is relationships!
How many times have you heard others talking over each other – or maybe you have done it yourself? It is the difference in language that disconnects people from each other. There is never a win-win situation when people are arguing, or even simply not listening to each other.
If you take the time to really hear what your partner is saying, words such as “I feel”, or “I see ” or I hear” give very important clues as to the way they take in and work out their response to your words. If you remember to just STOP, LISTEN, and HEAR what they’re saying, and the words they use, you will find you can respond with empathy, even if you may feel angry or upset.
It’s a bit like driving or walking across a level crossing – STOP, LISTEN, HEAR before acting can achieve the best result – getting to where you want to get to, safely! Remember, everyone is dealing with their own battles, big or small, and when we STOP, LISTEN and HEAR others, we get to be heard ourselves!
It might not stop you being cross, but its guaranteed to diffuse the situation enough to feel calmer. Hypnotherapy can help you to work with your relationships, showing you ways to remain calm while getting your point across in a more productive way to find a solution. See you next month!
