Deep dives

The Power of Silence

Taking a moment of silence after being insulted or belittled is a powerful response. This pause allows both you and the other person time to process the statement, which can lead to reflection and potentially retraction of their words. By asking them to repeat their comment, you shift the focus back to them, prompting them to reconsider the impact of their words. This technique demonstrates your emotional control and can often disarm the aggressor.
