YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHave you ever tried to unknot a delicate necklace that’s been jumbled in a drawer for too long? Tug too hard, and you'll tighten the knot. But a gentler touch can loosen the loop. Communication expert Jefferson Fisher believes arguments work the same way. If you come in forcefully, you’ll only deepen the tension. But if you approach with curiosity and a lighter touch, you might get to the source of the conflict.
In this video lesson, Fisher demonstrates how to replace a combative attitude with tools for connection.
