I do all of this subconsciously. In fact, I almost started this comment with “I feel like I might be doing this already…but not entirely sure since I can’t really hear it myself” out of habit. It’s really easy to resort to “retreat” language even in casual settings. When the pressure gets dialed up in a negotiation, we need to be all the more conscious of it. This perspective is helpful. Thanks, Jacob 😊

I catch myself all the time. Can’t unhear it in others — miss myself constantly. Sigh!
