🤗 How to sound less blamey

I feel belittled.

If you find yourself saying something like that, try to help yourself be heard more compassionately by saying instead:

I feel angry.

I feel frustrated.

I feel tense.

I feel distressed.

And here are some needs you could ask for:

I need respect.

I need autonomy.

I need seen for true self.

I need acknowledgement.

I need appreciation.
