Read the emotional pattern
Space can support understanding when its purpose is communicated. Unexplained withdrawal leaves the other person to invent the reason.
Separate feeling from inference
Use this lens to explore the emotional quality of a situation. A card cannot verify another person’s private feelings.
- Name the feeling this interpretation brings up in you first.
- Write down the other person’s observable words and actions separately from your explanation of them.
- 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
What am I learning in solitude that I am willing to bring back into contact?
