"The adversary is not the person across the table;
the adversary is the situation."

Mirroring

Repeat 1-3 words that your counterpart just said

Mirroring

Let's the other side know you're paying attention

Treating their views with close consideration

Stops hostility of confrontational people

Leads to elaboration and additional details

Labeling

Give voice to the other side's feelings

"It seems like you are upset.."

"It looks like you need more time.."

"You look like you are struggling.."

Labeling

"What I'm hearing..." or "I think"

NOT

First-person phrases signal that you are your number one priority

Mislabeling

Intentional misidentification of your counterpart's feelings

Gives other side the opportunity to correct you

And receive more information

Accusations Audit

Get ahead of negative emotions

*  You:
"Based on all my edit requests, you must think that I am the worst micro-manager in the history of time.."
*  Your student:
"No way, I worked with X who is way worse.."

"Unexpressed negative emotions never die. They fester like an infection."

This requires you to be bold and exaggerate.
