How to Talk to Someone Who’s Emotional Without Making It Worse (Communication Skills 1)

Text Jule :)Most of us mess up difficult or emotional conversations because we try to fix the wrong thing. Someone’s upset, and we hand them a fact, a logical explanation, a different perspective, and then we wonder why they get more frustrated or just shut down. (I’m guilty of doing this too.)In this episode I’m sharing my STEW framework (See, Think, Emotion, Words) and a really simple tool for handling someone who’s stuck in their emotions. It’s something I learned the painfully hard way after pissing off a lot of people, and it’s the difference between a conversation that actually goes somewhere and one where you both walk away annoyed.In this episode:The mom moment that made me realize I was treating emotional pain like it was a logic problemMy STEW framework and how to figure out where someone is actually stuckThe dead giveaway that tells you someone doesn’t need more information, they need something elseWhy people prefer feeling angry over feeling sad, and what that means for how you respondThe one tool that calms people down faster than almost anything elseThe mistake I see men make with women constantly that backfires every timeThis is Part 1 of 3 on how to handle someone stuck in their emotions. The next episode covers how to handle someone who’s stuck in their thinking.Support the showInterested in coaching with Jule?LinkedIn: @julekim / Instagram: @itsjulekim / TikTok: @itsjulekimJule’s website: https://adviceactually.com/Buy Jule’s Self-Love Affirmation Cards on AmazonWays to Support This Podcast:🌟 If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs it—and please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
