Try straightforward exercises that may support more deliberate communication.
The pause-and-clarify exercise
Before responding to a sensitive point, pause and ask one question to make sure you understand the speaker.
Describe instead of judge
Write a difficult moment as an observable event before adding interpretations or assumptions.
Reflect on intent and impact
Ask what you hoped to communicate and how the other person may have experienced it. Both can matter.
Practice with consent
Communication exercises should invite honest discussion, not manipulate or pressure someone into agreement.
