Your responses should be informed by the Difficult Conversations and Chapter 2:

These are questions you should answer: Clearly describe two stories that you have about life. That is, what are two paradigms (assumptions) that you have constructed about life and how it should be? Kindly describe their rules in detail. In addition, please describe what are the positive and negative consequences of having these rules, if any? This is very important. Often, we don't realize that certain behaviors or attitudes we have, carry with them rules that we adhere to and either result in intended or unintended consequences or results that we may or may not want.Also, include in your analysis how these rules which are embedded in our stories impact others' interactions with you. That is what do you feel are other's reactions to you based upon you holding these rules? This is really saying that we don't exist in isolation and that our personal choices impact others. Think that the actors and persons in our lives can impact how we act......Finally, please describe what a potential alternative to your story would be and what would happen if you adopted this "other" storyline and its resulting consequences for yourself and others? You should answer each portion of the issues indicated above. Obviously, this assignment is based on the book "Difficult Conversations"
