Dealing With Toxic Family This Holiday?  Try Grey Rocking

from Intimate Knowledge · host iHeartPodcasts

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! While the holiday season is all about love and joy it can also bring family tension and unwanted conversations. Experts suggest there is a communication tool that we can all learn to use, to help navigate and avoid emotional outbursts. “Gray rocking” begins by imagining you’re a dull gray rock… keeping a blank expression and a calm neutral tone. Aunt Debbie will be so bored talking to you, she’ll quickly move on to her next victim. However, there is one person you should NEVER try this method on, ever. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
