  • or religious related, just to arise or hurt or to wound you,

  • how to best approach that, not taking the bait, being a wet blanket, all of those things, just some phrases

  • that can maybe help because it is hurtful and not saying anything, you kind of feel like you're left carrying it.

  • So I'd appreciate your thoughts on that.

  • Thanks so much.

  • When that family member is trying to put something out in the middle of the room,

  • knowing that it's going to ruffle some feathers, knowing

  • that it might put some salt in the wound, this is where I want you to go.

  • Number one, very easy wet blanket neutral statements is the noted.

  • Got it.

  • Thank you for that.

  • One of my favorites is maybe so.

  • Yeah, maybe so.

  • Has a very quick, easy way of just settling the conversation

  • because you're saying, I'm not agreeing, I'm not disagreeing.

  • Yeah, maybe it is.

  • Maybe it's not.

  • Yeah, maybe so.

  • Or that's interesting.
