ontext:  There are many conversations we have with our personal relations that may elicit emotionally charged feelings like frustration, disappointment, discouragement, anger, etc.  First take time to review social emotional skills linked below.  Sometimes when we have external stressors putting pressure on us, we may have less energy to devote to the stress in our relationships.  One tool, called the HARD conversation model, HALTING conversation, ATTENDING to our nervous system response, REPAIRING, and DEBRIEFING can be used to re-engage to problem solve.  Pick a situation in which you were able to notice increased anxiety or tension and used this model to calm the nervous system so you were able to re-engage relationship strategies.  Apply practical steps to each of the stages in this model.  How does this model impact awareness of the relationship and problem solving?  3 pages APA please.
