and what do you think about his PAIN theory?

Everyone has experiences pain, so I can't really rock with that as a theory. Different types of pain that vary through each person differently. What may be pain to me is not pain to you.
She was pretty confident and hell bent on being right.
There are levels anxiety that exist, which also creates a defense mechanism.
She is actually the perfect example of humanity.
- her inability to accept the truth (truth)
- her wanting to be right (morality)
- this is what I been doing all my life (background that creates truth)
- let me call someone that will agree with me even though I'm totally wrong (culture)
"
This is my truth and I am not letting go of it." This is applied to everything we do as humans though. Us being black we have a truth that is about as meaningful to us as spelling "hampster" the way that girl wanted to is to her.
Of course we can measure the level differences, but ultimately we'd simply be arguing what means more to me than it does you because it's our TRUTH.
The problem this girl is having is being able to see outside of her truth.
This is the same problem we as humans deal with and it can be a subconscious thing, which it can make it more difficult to be aware of what you're doing.
As an educator, I have learned there are multiple was of correcting an individual. The boss was trying to prove that she was WRONG by bringing in a reference.
Which the boss didn't do anything wrong because the girl was dead wrong. But think about how arguing right and wrong turns out many times. lol
Instead, I would have asked a series of questions after I realized that she was hung up on the word.
- "Why is this important to you?"
- "Where have this came up in your life?"
- "Why does the spelling bother you?"
And depending on her answers, I'd navigate my questions as need be.
Eventually, the person breaks and tells me their life story about how someone called them a dumbass or said they didn't know shit.
They cry and release the emotion, which leads to some type of understanding or realization.
But I don't know. I'm probably reading way too much into this anyway...
