When a tense talk leaves you distracted, defensive, or guessing what the other person meant, name what got in the way. Describe the moment and get possible barriers such as rehearsing your reply, jumping to conclusions, or feeling overwhelmed. Leave with listening tactics for that situation, questions to ask, and a plan for responding without assuming you know the other person’s intent.
