[quote=Anonymous]This is a technique that a number of people use when they believe that the situation and the other person's reactions/conclusions don't match what they are thinking. Do you often disagree on situations and what happened and get into fights over interpretations of occurred? If so, you might want to read some books on gender communication. Dr. Deborah Tannen has several good books on the topic like "That's Not What I Meant! " and "You Just Don't Understand" They are good at explaining how men and women are socialized to respond differently and to have different goals when communicating (for example, women often want to vent and want a sympathetic ear, while men will consider a problem that needs fixing and will try to suggest ways to resolve the issue rather than just listening). She talks about the concept of framing, e.g. how you frame a conversation and how to communicate when your framing is different from your partner's.[/quote]
