Testing Mind-reading: Knowing What You Don’t Know
Mind-reads happen when our assumption about other people's thoughts and feelings appear like facts. They are a source of many conflicts. Also very normal, esp. in vague and ambiguous situations. Think for example what happens when someone doesn't reply to your message. Many of us will start mind-reading.
When we become very dependent on mind-reading, we can end up playing out conflicts with fictive persons in our own thoughts. Those conflicts can have an almost haunting character.
The answer to whether one's assumptions are true or false is not to be found in one's own head. It is with the person I'm mind-reading. To get that information, I need to stop talking to myself and get the other person in on the conversation by asking a direct question.
Come and learn something about the very important ingredient in conflicts called mind-reads. We will do a range of exercises to raise our awareness of them, so we can spot them in ourselves and others and also take steps to change them through questions.
