Axiom 2: Every interaction has a Content and Relationship Dimension

Оглавление

The content dimension of a message involves the literal meaning of the words used, while the relationship dimension involves how the message was said, indicating how it is to be interpreted. The relationship dimension reveals what one party to the interaction thinks of the other. For example, a husband says to his spouse, “Get over here right now.” The content level is the husband’s words. But the message can be delivered in a number of ways: as an order, a plea, a flirtation, or an expression of sexual desire, for example. Each manner of delivery suggests a different kind of relationship. It is through such variations that we offer clues to another person regarding how we see ourselves in relation to that person.
