Having an adult with mental illness/Autism has been a sort of biofeedback for me because I have to police how I approach them whether it is to ask them to do something or to correct their behavior when it's required. The more I yell, nag, scream, use harsh words or tones, the more I get that back to myself, like a mirror. They in essence reflect that back which I "throw" their direction usually in the form of negative behavior if the "throw" is negative. While it's a relatively reliable gauge, it's not 100% and there are times what I send gets reflected back in the opposite. It's a start though, and we all can use a form of immediate feedback as to how we're contributing to the beef happening. Sometimes without realizing it we're perpetuating it whether it be to just be there or by contributing to it; actively or passively; whatever our roles in this beef going on, it does take two to Tango. The question we ask ourselves is: Do we want to dance?
