Attunement can help build trust in a relationship, but it's not as intuitive as those definitions sound. To help, we've created an acronym out of the word ATTUNE to guide you through the steps it takes to attune to your partner's emotions:
Awareness of your partner’s emotion;
Turning toward the emotion;
Tolerance of two different viewpoints;
Understand your partner;( try to)
Non-defensive responses to your partner;
and responding with Empathy.
While this process includes many of our other approaches—turning toward, responding with empathy, and validating different perspectives—following it will help you both attune to each other and create emotional harmony.
