When discussing “meta-“, it refers to those times when, prompted by what happens to us, we are led to reflect on our way of thinking and communicating.
Why do I reason in this way?
Why did my communication elicit that particular response?
Training the “meta-” level means practicing reflection on one’s way of relating to others and the world around us.
Understanding how one’s cognitive processes and communication methods work allows for an increase in self-awareness and thus relational effectiveness.
