1. How to handle projections in relationships when someone assumes your
thoughts and reacts defensively.
2. What do you do when your child doesn't like your "tone of voice?
3. What do you do when you want a deeper connection with a friend but fear their response? Or when a friendship feels unsafe, leaving you unsure how to proceed?
4. The art of creating emotionally safe conversations in the face of judgment or blame.
