Guided Dialogue
Guided Dialogue
One weekly appointment, two eight-minute phases: one speaks, one listens. No discussion — just being heard and hearing.
How this dialogue works
Take turns: one of you speaks for eight minutes about the past week in I-statements, the other listens without discussing. Then you swap roles. Both of you run the timer on your own phone.
If the week does not work out
Agree now on what happens when a week gets in the way. A missed dialogue is not a failure.
Who speaks first?
Choose on both phones — one of you picks “I speak first”, the other “My partner speaks first”.
