What is the pillow method?

The pillow method is a problem-solving technique used in communication and conflict resolution. It involves imagining a large pillow being placed between two people who are in conflict, with each person taking turns expressing their thoughts and feelings to the pillow as though it were the other person. This helps to create a safe space for each person to express themselves without fear of interruption or judgement. The technique encourages active listening, empathy, and understanding, resulting in improved communication and resolution of the conflict. The pillow method is often used in couples therapy, but can also be applied to other types of relationships, such as between colleagues or family members.
