Have you ever felt in a conversation like you’re talking to a brick wall?
You’re explaining as as you can, with a soft voice and still not being understood?
What’s going on?
Try shifting how you communicate. Speak directly from your experience, be very specific, and ask the other person what they think they heard you say (in a kind and soft tone).
If they respond without understanding, explain yourself again, when you can be direct, yet keep it simple.
If you become triggered (meaning your heart rate goes up and you start feeling hot), take a small break from the conversation and come back another time.
You deserve to be heard! You got this!
