When you see criticism riding into your relationship, use a gentle start-up.
A gentle start-up begins with “I feel,” leads into “I need,” and then respectfully asks to fulfill that need. https://t.co/Fs9ZvwKUJ8

[Rabbi Brent Chaim Spodek @brentspodek]

in honorable relationships, so much depends on listening to our own sense of guilt for things we have *done* without feeling shame about who we *are*
