Thoughts + feelings = story
Wow therapy and this work book are starting to collide. This explains the concept of “storytelling” in a more analytical way (almost)
It’s just nice to recognize this as something I so obviously do and it makes the information more valuable to me

“A feedback giver may not be ready or able to acknowledge their contribution to the problem…Rather than trying to force them to admit to and take responsibility for their part in the problem, describe how they could get a better reaction from you.

Feedback from Relationships:
We can be triggered by feedback to those around us or close to us depending on how we view the person or how we feel they treat us.
Relationship triggers can sometimes lead to "switchtracking" where two separate feedback topics are brought up, but you can use "signposting" to separate and address them both. Relationship issues can sometimes lurk underneath the feedback first given
