Ever notice how some conversations feel supportive and clarifying while others spiral into advice, defensiveness, or silence? We break down a simple, powerful framework that reveals what’s really happening when someone opens up: every conversation moves across three layers—the concrete problem, the emotions underneath, and the social impact that shapes identity and reputation. Once you see these layers, you can choose the right response and create instant trust.
