Here is a way to handle obnoxious behaviours from people you cannot cut off, while keeping yourself as calm & separate from the drama as possible.
Be as boring as a grey rock so they don't get new supply from getting at you:
be neutral and disengaged,
don't give them a lot of your attention,
keep interactions short & sweet,
don't give away personal information
Dr Ramani talks about the grey rock method in this YouTube video
Sometimes you need help in preparing yourself to have a difficult conversation about family or work situations.
Joanne & Karen can work with you to develop a good strategy for a tough situation.
We can help you practice & prepare for the discussion, so you have thought through what you need to say & how you will say it.
This helps you to focus on what you want to accomplish, what you need to say to get there, & how you need to prepare to consider the perspectives of the other parties in the conversation.
