The Criticism Recovery Cards
For the comment you are still carrying around. Eight cards for the moments criticism actually lands, each with the mechanism underneath it and one move you decide on in advance.
The mechanism inside
Negativity bias: bad is weighted more heavily than good of the same size (Baumeister et al., 2001), and roughly five positive interactions offset one negative one (Gottman and Levenson, 1992). The recovery side runs on self-compassion outperforming a pep talk (Breines and Chen, 2012) and on rumination, not the outburst, being what keeps anger alive (Bushman, 2002).
