How to Stay in Control When Arguing

In this episode of The Jefferson Fisher Podcast, Jefferson Fisher discusses three common communication mistakes that lead to a loss of control in conversations. These include overexplaining or over-justifying, which dilutes the message and stems from a lack of confidence; reacting emotionally without pausing to take a breath, making one predictable and easily triggered; and feeling the need to fill silences, which gives away power and prevents deeper connection. Fisher emphasizes the importance of concise communication, emotional regulation through breathing exercises, and embracing silence to maintain control and strengthen one's position in any discussion.
