RELATIONSHIP PROBLEM SOLVING

WHY: by solving problems fairly and quickly, which threaten your respectful relationships, you and the other person will continue to feel connected, protected and respected.

HOW: firstly, consider, what did you do or say? What were you thinking then? What have you thought since? Who has been affected and how? What could you have done or said differently? What would you do and say now? How would things change? What should you say and do to make things right?

DO: when is a time that you sorted out a relationship problem with someone fairly and quickly?

What is a problem that you should start sorting out today?

WHAT WENT WELL THIS WEEK?

Respectful Relationships

To become the person you want to be, use positive “I can and I will” self-talk to contest negative unhelpful thoughts. E.g. “I can learn new approaches and I will fix my mistakes.” Create two positive self-talk “I can and I will” statements to contest different types of negative unhelpful thoughts that you could have.
