Read the emotional pattern

Affection becomes legible through warmth and everyday care. Leave room for the other person to receive it in their own way.

Separate feeling from inference

Use this lens to explore the emotional quality of a situation. A card cannot verify another person’s private feelings.

  1. Name the feeling this interpretation brings up in you first.
  2. Write down the other person’s observable words and actions separately from your explanation of them.
  3. If it is appropriate to ask, choose a direct question that gives the other person room to describe their own experience.

A question for your side of the connection

Am I helping something grow, or trying to make it depend on me?
