I’m right at my beginning of learning how to use low demand language. I made a mistake with Sally Cat, for which I apologise! Sorry Sally Cat! I have to remember: don’t tell PDAers how to view their situation, they won’t appreciate it!
My therapist is recommending declarative language:
- I notice
- I wonder
- I get to
- I have time to
- I get to take a break from X by doing Y
These are just little baby steps to changing from the demanding language I grew up with, to the language that will benefit me – and benefit my relationships with fellow PDAers!
