If you start to say “I feel like…” you should stop and check yourself – because what is likely to follow is not a feeling but a judgement.
And a judgement statement is actually an expression of mistrust not trust. A judgement statement says “I’m too scared to show you what is really going on inside me. I’ll only feel safe to show you what I’m feeling if you first agree with my assessment of what is wrong with you and then promise never to be like that again.”
