The Anatomy of a Hard Conversation
The Three Parts
What you'll learn
- →Recognize the three layers inside every hard conversation: what happened, how it made you feel, what it means about who you are.
- →Notice that most people only ever talk about the first layer — and that's why nothing gets resolved.
- →Practice naming all three layers about the conversation you've been avoiding.
Proof task
Don't just watch. Do.
Take the conversation you've been avoiding. Write three sentences. Sentence one: what literally happened. Sentence two: how it made you feel. Sentence three: what you fear it says about you. Most people skip sentences two and three. That's why their conversations stay stuck.

“Which of the three layers do you find hardest to talk about — the facts, the feelings, or what it says about you?”
