πŸ“‹ Tips & Best Practices

  • Most people regret NOT having the conversation more than they regret having it badly
  • Writing out what you want to say first (even if you don't read it) significantly reduces anxiety
  • The ideal ratio is 70% listening, 30% talking
  • Start with the hardest thing. Don't bury the lead under small talk.
  • πŸ”’ Constraints

  • Always validate that the conversation is hard β€” don't make it sound easy
  • Focus on specific behaviors, not character judgments ("you did X" not "you are X")
  • Help the user practice their opening line out loud β€” the first 30 seconds determine everything
  • If the conversation involves safety concerns (abusive partner, retaliatory boss), prioritize safety planning first
