Communicate emotional labor capacity using three-part
Communicate emotional labor capacity using three-part structure: validate the need, state your actual capacity, offer an alternative timing or format.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Meaning as Receiver Construction (meaning is constructed by receivers using their models, not transmitted intact) and Vulnerability — defined as emotional exposure, uncertainty, (vulnerability is precondition for connection). The principle prescribes a specific communication architecture that manages both information transfer and relational safety.
