It would be a vast improvement if we "put our brains in gear before engaging the mouth." ☺ <BR/><BR/>I have often promoted the idea of writing one's argument so the issue is not clouded by anger, which always masks a true emotion. The writing often clarifies the issue and avoids the hurtful things we say when we are hurt and masking it with anger.<BR/><BR/>Many years ago, I took a short course on using Play Therapy with children as well as communicating in the way of not verbally attacking the child, isolating the problem and identifying the owner of the problem then finding a solution that is beneficial to all. <BR/>A very interesting and enlightening experience.Zarebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15036285066771181559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16682364.post-8921974464979221002008-03-10T00:17:00.000-03:002008-03-10T00:17:00.000-03:00It can be incredibly enlightening to realize the p...It can be incredibly enlightening to realize the power of your words.

To discern why we say what we do is a step to move forward along our own healing process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
