WAW - Very confused and devestated - pt 4

[confusedinpa]

I agree with stuck, don't reinforce the negative. These phrases are your friends:

"I understand"

"I can see why you would feel that way"

"That's understandable"

"That makes sense"

"You know what, you are right about that" (if it is true)

Of course, you should no longer be getting yourself in a position where she can give you the "I can't get past it" speech...but at least you will be able to respond well to it.

Spellfire,

Great suggestions! I'm going to have to have them tattoed on the back of my hand so I can remember to use them!
