Tackling Elephants Reflection Questions:

• Can you think of a recent example of a time where you think you over-reacted to a situation?
• Are there any things that you know often trigger strong reactions in you?
• Have you ever thought about what past memories or childhood experiences still trip you up in the present?
• How do you respond when someone over-reacts?
• Do your responses tend more toward aggression or avoidance?
• What are some good strategies for speaking the truth in love?
• What are some good strategies for hearing the truth in humility? (When it is you that needs to be spoken to!)
• Why do you think Jesus encourages us to actively resolve damaged relationships?
• What about doing this do you find hard?
