Today, we are going to talk about contempt. We see examples of this a lot in social interactions but it can become toxic. This is part 2 of our discussion on The Four Horsemen that can doom a relationship. We will discuss some examples of contempt, why it is so dangerous and solutions that can eliminate contempt.

Call to Order:
This week’s call to order is to identify where you have contempt in your relationships. Work on replacing phrases that display contempt and make them more positive. Pick one relationship you have or one aspect of your relationship that has contempt and can be improved. Practice some self-talk to replace words of contempt with more positive communication.
