“I-LANGUAGE” PAPER

I -STATEMENTS

1.         Describe the person’s behavior to him (what he said or did) in very specific terms.  (DO NOT EVALUATE!) HINT: You can complete the phrase above with “. . . when you (describe actual actions)  .”  EXAMPLE: “ . . . when you don’t pick me up on time.” (NOTE:  Make sure you don’t insert a hidden “you”-message here either, like: “. . . when you acted like an inconsiderate jerk.”

2.         Express how you feel about the person’s behavior (NOT how the person “made you feel.”)  Begin your sentence with “I feel (emotion)    . . .” OR “I get (emotion)    . . . ” EXAMPLE: “I feel frustrated . . . “ (NOTE:  Make sure you don’t have a hidden “you”-message, like: “I feel you acted like an inconsiderate jerk last night.”)

3.         Express your reasoning.  Begin this part with a “Because …” statement, where you explain why you are choosing to feel the way you are about the person’s behavior. This should not be a chance to slip in a hidden “you”-message. Instead, ask yourself, “Why am I choosing to feel this way about his/her behavior.”
