56. Talking about Own Emotions Telling someone directly and honestly how you feel can be a very powerful form of communication. Be specific about what do you feel. Vague statements are hard to work on. Avoid accusations in case of negative emotions. Accusations will cause others to defend themselves. Instead, talk about how someone's actions made you feel. Don't generalize. Avoid words like "never" or "always." Such generalizations are usually inaccurate and will heighten tensions.
57. Talking about Own Emotions Reflection of content and feelings: To show that you’re understanding the speaker’s experience To allow the speaker to evaluate his/her feelings after hearing them expressed by someone else
