From what you don't want to what you do
Watch from 00:36 to 3:17 (you will want to watch the rest)
In this video Terry Real talks about how to express your need in a way that your partner/child/friend can hear you. This goes for any relationship, intimate or other. He gives a simple exercise that I want you to try. See below
Homework:
Take a piece of paper. On one side, write what you don't want your partner/child/co-worker/client to do. Then, flip it over and on the other side, rephrase, and write what it is you 'do' want them to do.
EXAMPLE:
"I want you to stop treating me like I am an idiot" -> "Trust me that I have a reason for what I am doing, and if you have a question, 'why' ask." (...yes, oddly specific)
