On your own, or with someone
Theme · Validate yourself and others
Before you fix or argue, validate: that makes sense, I can see why you feel that. It cools the heat.
People calm down when they feel understood, not corrected. Understanding first, solutions later.
Validate your own feeling first: of course this stung. You do not need permission to feel it.
Do not add self-blame on top of a hard feeling. Let it be real, then decide what to do.
