Lesson Overview

1.91 – How to Respond When You’re Misunderstood in Crisis: Misunderstanding during crisis can escalate fear faster than facts. Slow down the conversation before correcting anyone. Speak calmly, summarize what they heard, then restate your meaning in short phrases. Avoid defending tone; clarity carries more weight than emotion. Use “I” statements—“I meant…”—to remove blame. If voices rise, pause and breathe until both can listen again. Seek neutral witnesses if tension grows. Miscommunication resolved early prevents stigma later. Remember, perception shifts slower than emotion; patience rebuilds accuracy. The goal is alignment, not victory. When you manage misunderstanding with poise, you model steadiness that redefines how others remember the moment, not the mistake.
