LASER process (Transforming enemy images)
Preparing yourself to deal with conflict
L= What’s the LOAD? (the judgment you carry)
A= What’s the ACTION this person has done or said that leads you to have this Load/judgment?
S = Self-Empathy
E = Empathy for the other
R= Reflect on how you feel now and are there any requests for action that needs to happen.

Preparing yourself to deal with conflict
L= What’s the LOAD? (the judgment you carry)
A= What’s the ACTION this person has done or said that leads you to have this Load/judgment?
- This is a non-controversial observation of what has happened
- It will enable you to enter into conversation with the person with lower risk of reactivity or defensiveness from them.
S = Self-Empathy
- How do I feel when I remember what this person has said or done?
- What am I needing or longing for in relation to this action?
E = Empathy for the other
- How might the person taking the action be feeling?
- What needs is this person trying to meet, even if they are totally not meeting them, or meeting them ‘tragically’?
R= Reflect on how you feel now and are there any requests for action that needs to happen.
