CL Is Not To Impose on Others¶

CL applies to ourselves. Our context can involve various people and circumstances, but the CL process cannot tell us what others are experiencing. Any thoughts about others and what they are thinking or feeling or should do are all actually part of our own experience.

Of course, resolutions can involve telling others what we think they could or should do — including coaching others through doing the CL process. However, it's often healthier to lead by example and to focus on listening and questioning. Appropriate resolutions depend on the contexts and particular people. Whatever the case, we can only choose how we respond to any situation.
