 Chapter Four: Learn to Look: How to notice when safety is as risk.

Major Talking Points:
1) Social First Aid: Watching for Safety 2) Stay Alert 3) Silence and (Verbal) Violence


Segment One: Learn to look for when a conversation is turning unhealthy or watch for conditions by "dual proceessing." 3 Basic Conditions: 1) Notice moment a conversation becomes crucial 2) Signs a person feels unsafe 3) Your style under stress and recognizing it.

Segment Two: Stay Alert 1) Anticipate entering a tough conversation-Reprogram your mind-Notice Physical changes: Heart racing, blurred vision, raised voice, silence etc. Realize signs symptoms early on. Go back to "Start with Heart." 2) LOOK for safety problems and signs that people are afraid. Fear response can look like forcing opinion on others or shutting down.
When a person feels safe they can say anything. "Nothing kills flow of meaning like fear." When you fear not being heard, you push too hard or one shuts down.

(Not related to the book, When you're a new creation in Christ that fear can be removed when you are perfected in love) When a person feels safe, they can be given negative feedback and can handle it.

When you realize there are safety concerns in conversation, be Curious, not angry or frightened.

Segment Three: Silence and Violence: (Verbal violence or trauma/tearing of the brain.) Flight or Fight v Silence or Violence. Knowing safety problems so that you can step out, restore safety, return to dialogue.
Silence in 3 forms, 1 Masking: sarcasm, sugar coating or, couching, 2 Avoid conversation or person, 3 Withdrawing or withholding information
Verbal Violence in 3 forms, 1 Controlling 2 Labeling 3 Attack
Look for your style of dealing with Crucial Conversations by taking their quiz.

Conclusion: Learn to Look for content and conditions, when things become crucial, safety problems, silence or violence.

We're told we can do what we want with our bodies and choose when to have kids  But what does it really look like to have free will? I'll tell you now. Not caring about the options at all. Seeing everything as a gift. Realizing this world was designed to be enjoyed and lived in to the fullest extent possible. Again, why limit ourselves to simple options? Pick whatever car you want (as long as it's the color options they've presented you with.) Eat whatever type of french fry, icecream, or food that is available on the menu list at your favorite restaurant.

The question poised here is simple: Are you really free, or just given options?  I was blessed to hear a wonderful sermon that presented this w...
