This video will help you if you are lonely and isolated in your relationship.

What's your gut reaction to this video? I'm producing a bunch of them and am wondering how they are landing?

Quick patterns I’m seeing in your posts and stories: - Word choice unlocks honesty. @Michael Tedesco’s shift from “afraid” → “concerned” got real answers instead of denial. - Label feelings, not content. @Jim Leonard’s reminder: “You’re really sad.” is often enough. Causes can come later. - Highly sensitive people (HSPs) calm faster with two emotions. @Trần Hương noted less overload and more presence when naming 2 feelings. - Consoling is self-soothing. Michael’s “Marvin” story: “Everything will be fine” usually comforts the speaker, not the sufferer. - After calm, ask permission. From the “nail” thread, @Kevin Desai: “Would you like help figuring out how to solve this?” keeps agency intact. - Skepticism is normal data. @Roxy Wieschollek’s “No-shit, Sherlock” fear is common. Keep labeling two emotions and watch the shift. Your turn: drop one line you actually used this week in “You…” form (1–2 emotions, short). I’ll pick three and turn them into screenshot cards for everyone. Special thanks to @Zahra Dhanani @Jeanette Parker @Pegotty Cooper for keeping the bar high!

Hi! I am a mediator and I am always looking for new skills and technique to improve my practice. Glad to be here!

I think we all saw the video and u can find it on YouTube. My main Question is how, at some point, after the initial non-rationale response do you actually explain there is a nail in the head? Or is the point to just to de-escalate?
