‘I’ statements – when you own your communication, you begin the process of taking back your power and not responding to demands, allegations, insults and threats. Using your ‘I’ statements is as easy as saying ‘I don’t want to get in the car with you when you are yelling at me’ vs. saying ‘you are pissing me off when you yell at me and I can’t take it anymore’. The more use of the word ‘you’ puts someone on the defensive and makes the attacker have to defend his or her actions, escalating the situation. This isn’t about being right or wrong, it’s about taking care of you and learning how to step aside from the verbal assaults.
