Power Thought of the Week with Patricia Parham, Ph.D.
Microtriggers
It is very easy to make contact with persons like ourselves and less natural to do so across age, cultural and ethnic boundaries. What are the microtriggers that let you know that there might be some similarities underneath the seeming differences? Share something about the holidays, family or a vacation and ask about theirs. Listen for similarities (vs. differences) and respond to the excitement in the story. Themes that lead to connection might be having fun, loving adventure, family, learning risk-taking or hobbies.
