🤗 How to sound less blamey

I feel manipulated.

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

I feel angry.

I feel scared.

I feel powerless.

I feel thwarted.

I feel frustrated.

And here are some needs you could ask for:

I need autonomy.

I need empowerment.

I need trust.

I need equality.

I need freedom.

I need connection.

I need authenticity.
