Conflict styles Communication styles Gottmen The four horsemen

1. Criticism

2. Contempt

3. Defensiveness

4. Stonewalling Criticism Criticisms and critiques are two different things. (Power in language and tone) Complaining and criticism two different things. Contempt U just being rude. Verbally and non verbal. (Name calling, eye rolling, attacking character) Effects on the body: colds, the flu etc. When we bottle things in and finally explode. Defensiveness the response to the criticism Stonewalling a response to contempt. Stonewalling occurs when the listener withdraws from the interaction, shuts down, and simply stops responding to their partner. When this happens. Take a break
