The Problem with I-Statements – 051

I-Statements are a technique often recommended by counselors and therapists to help with communication. They're supposed to reduce defensiveness when trying to resolve conflicts by focusing on how you feel, rather than attacking the other person's behavior. As a school counselor, I used to teach I-Statements to my students until I realized that they were mostly ineffective and dis-empowering. Join me for this episode as I explain my thoughts about I-Statements and a more useful way to go about solving problems. www.lessdramamoremama.com/051 The post The Problem with I-Statements – 051 appeared first on Less Drama More Mama.
