To what degree do you use any of Gottman’s Four Horses of the Apocalypse (criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, contempt)? To what extent do you use constructive communication skills in conflict discussions such as empathy, humor, paraphrasing the other’s perspective, remaining matter of fact in your tone of voice)? Give brief examples (two to three pages double spaced)
