Emotional Word Picture - April 23

 

"An emotional word picture is a communication tool that uses a story or object to activate simultaneously the emotions and the intellect of a person.  In so doing, it causes the person to experience our words, not just hear them.  A simple example of a word picture would be, 'My week so far has made me feel like a puppy picked up by the scruff of its neck, because I feel carried along by circumstances beyond my control.'

 

The communication bridge between you and your spouse can be an emotional word picture, which can be a tremendous help in adding depth and impact to you conversations."
