I chose a family member as a “practicing” partner. At first, I felt like a schoolboy reading the questions from a paper, then we switched to a looser conversation and then managed to get to the depth of the topic. We did it back and forth, so first I asked her then she asked me. It was difficult for both of us to formulate our real request and finally we solved it by helping each other. It was an interesting experience that we asked the same thing from each other, so we can combine our measurement. We will see how it works int he future. I concluded, that it is a great achievement to get to even one concrete request. It is true, altough, that as an effect of our conversation, I have had more ideas, to discuss further requests and agreements. Finally we agreed, in setting a fix day of the week, when we deal with it. I have great hope of refining and disseminating the method because it provides a constructive framework for discussing otherwise delicate topics, especially as it also represents a professional perspective.
