This episode is devoted to those of us who feel frustrated when we're interrupted, or when a conversation we're having is diverted in a way that doesn't feel generative and connecting.
Listen in for the three strategies we can use and the three goals we can shoot for in order to create a new conversation.
We discuss:
- 3:10 I was having a heartfelt conversation and got interrupted. What can I do in moments like these?
- 8:09 Strategy #1: Say it badly to someone else, first
- 15:19 Doing our work on the backend allows for more choicefulness in the moment.
- 16:15 Strategy #2: Reflect the person back to them, and ask consent for a different conversation
- 21:45 Strategy #3: Raise awareness about the current dynamic
- 29:16 Goal #1: Shoot for playfulness
- 35:20 Goal #2: Detach from the other person's reaction
- 36:58 Goal #3: Accept yourself at your current level of practice
- 40:01 When I can't access humor, it might be because pain is present
- 41:54 Closing thoughts
