Reflective Listening, 1994 Neil Katz and Kevin McNulty

"Evaluating/Judging

2. Criticizing/Blaming.

Make the the person feel stupid, outcast, or foolish. (Stereotyping or categorizing.)

  • You're out of line

  • You didn't do it right.

  • That's a stupid thing to say!

  • You are a fuzzy thinker

  • You're talking like an engineer.

  • You really goofed on this one.

  • That was a dumb thing to do.

  • It's your fault"
