Lesson Overview

1.10 – Taking Space Without Causing Conflict: Taking space can sound like rejection, but it’s actually maintenance for clarity. The key lies in tone and timing—communicate intent before disappearing. Say, “I need ten minutes to think,” instead of walking away in silence. When framed with respect, breaks prevent blow-ups. Physical distance cools adrenaline, allowing empathy to return. Space works best when boundaries are clear about time and purpose. Without clarity, it can feel like abandonment; with clarity, it becomes a shared safety plan. Everyone needs breathing room during stress; pretending otherwise builds resentment. Taking healthy space shows that calm is worth protecting even mid-argument. It’s not about escaping emotion but managing its intensity wisely. Properly used, distance builds connection by proving that respect remains even under tension.
