Technique for Arguing

I don’t remember where I read this but one day I found a technique for arguing. The idea is to hold hands with the person you are arguing with. I guess it’s supposed to keep the conversation “real” or keep it from getting too heated. It’s hard to hide your feelings that way because you can literally feel what the other person feels in their hands. Well, I had an opportunity to try it out and I was surprised at the results. The person I tried this with and I had a lot of tension between us due to a fight a few days earlier. For me, I had a lot of feelings that built up inside me for a few days and the second I tried this technique, it all sorta spewed out. I started bawling. Which is fine because I felt a lot better afterward. My partner said it brought out a feeling of wanting to run away but also seemed slightly calmed by it.
