[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about: “I think we should take a break and talk about this when we feel calmer.”[/quote] Pre-scripted arguments in therapy-speak are so unsatisfying, though. [/quote] Yeah, that would not be any more effective with me than saying, "calm down". Why do people have to be calm to have their feelings heard? Not being calm signals something about the importance of those feelings.[/quote] My thoughts exactly.[/quote] It also very quickly can over-escalate to the point where you’re just hurling anger at one another. It’s like “why would you not keep riding the runaway horse”? [/quote]
