Sage,

Thanks for your reponse!

I'm finding that I rush through even positive conversations of late if they bear any resemblance to R talk I think I've gotten so used to NOT having them with h that one does come up (even if he's initiated it), I flee!




I am so with you on this! (not that we have positive R talks at this point) but I feel my mind, heart and pulse rate race....and I try to get out of it (R talk) as quickly/soon as possible. I feel that I often miss opportunities to listen and validate.

Quote:

NO ASSumptions
LISTEN
VALIDATE
LISTEN some more
SLOW down the conversation (match his pace)
Say less than you want
Ask leading questions
Revisit the conversation later if needed
Realize that saying nothing is ok, too!




I will memorize these!!! Thank you.

I noticed that you started a thread in KLA (not getting much work done today!). I read it (Wow!) and I have a couple of questions. I will understand if you are not comfortable answering them.

1. Does your H know about DB and this BB?
2. Re your goal of more frequency in the area of PI: was it always this way (pre-bomb)? Could it be that your H is just LD? Does he know what your preference regarding frequency is?

Sorry for continuing to pick your brain today.
