Note that from the beginning of the meeting in Sanjay’s office, Elena stayed with her reality and didn’t make any accusations or negative attributions of Sanjay’s motives or intentions. (She did cross the net in making positive attributions when she said, “I know you value my input.” People rarely become defensive when we attribute positive intent, and her objective in saying this was to separate intentions from behavioral outcomes.)

Here’s a simple breathing exercise called “box breathing.” This type of breathing is a way to tell your nervous system, “We’re safe. All is well.” Inhale for four seconds; hold it for four seconds; exhale for four seconds; hold for four seconds; repeat for a few minutes until you feel your body start to lose the edge.
