Doing The “Work”4 Steps to

Communication

1.Is it true2. Can you absolutely

know that it’s true3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe

that thought? Does that thought bring stress or peace into your life?  4.Who would you be

without the thought? What do you see? What would your life look like without

that thought? 

The Turnarounds: 

A statement that can be turned around to the

self, to the other, and to the opposite. For example:

“He” should understand me turns around to: • I should understand

me. (to the self) • I should understand “Him.” (to the other) 

• “He” shouldn’t understand me. (to the

opposite)
