We use the Peace Rose to help us talk about our feelings.
- Say the person's NAME.
- Say how you FEEL.
- Say WHAT HAPPENED that made you feel that way.
- Say what you want to HAPPEN DIFFERENTLY in the future.
Then when we respond, we:
- Say the person's NAME.
- Say I'M SORRY FOR ____.
- Say what will HAPPEN DIFFERENTLY in the future.
- Say the person's NAME.
- Say how you FEEL.
- Say WHAT HAPPENED that made you feel that way.
- Say what you want to be DIFFERENT in the future.
By using the Peace Rose, I hope that learners will choose to use their words, rather than other methods, to show that they are upset. I also hope learners will understand that their words are powerful and that they need to stand up for themselves and show others how they deserve to be respected.
