This exercise is especially helpful whenever you're having a hard time connecting with someone due to anger or frustration.
My therapist first shared this script with me a few years ago—it helped me feel lifted, free, and connected.

Interesting study to check out:
"Loving-Kindness and Compassion Meditation: Potential for Psychological Interventions"
"When combined with empirically supported treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, loving-kindness meditation may provide potentially useful strategies for targeting a variety of different psychological problems that involve interpersonal processes, such as social anxiety, marital conflict, anger, and coping with the strains of long-term caregiving.
