Episode 3: Call it back.

Marriage Rules with Beth Wylie

My favorite tool to share with clients is the call it back tool. When you bring up a complaint in a harsh way, or you have a certain negative tone of voice or you just start a conversation with your partner with negative vibes, then I want you to call it back. This is done by being aware of how you just started this interaction and checking in to see if you are actually upset at your partner or if you are being lazy in your communication. If it is the latter, then ask your partner if you can try that again. If you are actually upset, then you need to have that conversation instead of being reactive and putting low energy vibes out there. (been in Maui awhile if you can tell). Take a listen to dig in a bit deeper and then make a goal to hear yourself better and call it back if needed!
