Four Bads

Criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling—these are the four things that “kill a relationship stone dead” says the author of PsyBlog.  We all know how much we dislike these qualities in others, but if you’re like me, it’s good to have a reminder that they are hurtful, not helpful strategies. I can be sneaky too, with “innocent” questions that contain a grain of criticism.  Ouch.
