Thank You!
Remember, your brain is not your friend!
THREATENING QUESTIONS/STATEMENTS:
why did you do that?
why did you think that would work?
why didn’t you <do something else> instead?
you should have done <this action> instead.
you shouldn’t have done that.

BAD BEHAVIOUR TIPS
- cut the other person off
- shrug off what they say
- avoid eye contact

NON-THREATENING QUESTIONS/STATEMENTS: GOOD BEHAVIOUR TIPS
What have you tried so far?
- listen, don’t talk
How important is solving this to you on a 1-10 scale? - echo back what they say
That sounds like a rough situation for you.
- make eye contact
What is it about this situation that bothers you the most?
What would be the best outcome for you?
Avoid questions that start with “why” or “you”
