Noticing Communication
Dear Darren,
I wouldn’t typically suggest people watch Star Wars to get relationship or communication tips. The movie was made for the special effects and is not noted for its good dialogue. Nonetheless, I was pleased that you noticed how defensive and blaming Han Solo was at times. Often the key to good communication is simply recognizing what’s going on around you. Noticing who is on the offensive, noticing who is on the defensive. Then it’s just a short step to guessing why, and guessing what could be done about it (should you want to do anything about it).
Love,
Mom
