A skill that might de-escalate conflict.. any conflict. I'm sure many know about it, although in some situations it can be hard to put into practice. I did not learn this from any professional. In fact if I'm honest more than one therapist intentionally triggered me (to make me angry and hurt...or more hurt that is nuts in my book )

Anyway, it's not rocket science but here it is.

HALT

Are you Hungry?

Angry?

Lonely?

Tired?

At least some of those are temporary feelings (hopefully, or can be worked on)

Just flinging it out there in case it helps anyone, even anyone reading logged out. I notice many ''guests'' reading on msf, (not only now, it's always been the case) I'm guessing some have never posted.

I hope this makes sense. It can probably be looked up easily in case my explanation doesn't make much sense.

Respect to all
