Lesson Overview

2.4 – How to Use “I” Statements to Reduce Tension: Replace blaming phrases like “You always ignore me” with calm statements that explain your feelings and needs; use the simple formula “I feel ___ when ___ because ___, and I need ___” to keep communication balanced and clear; focus on your experience instead of judging the other person; keep your tone gentle so the words don’t feel like hidden criticism; practice with small situations first so the skill feels natural during tougher conversations; pause if emotions rise and return when you feel steady; invite the other person to share their “I” statement too so both voices matter; thank each other for trying a healthier approach even when it feels awkward; write down examples to use during stressful moments; watch how arguments soften when people feel understood instead of attacked.
