Reactions to hurt
1. Anger
- some are like rhinos-they attack when provoked
- some are like hedgehogs-they withdraw when threatened
2. Retaliation
- to let our partner know what the hurt felt like
3. Fear
- we withdraw so as not to be hurt again
4. Guilt
- hurt will always be caused by both partners
Identify whether you are a rhino or hedgehog. If you’re not sure, ask your partner.
