Actor A and B

Close eyes and visualize the other person as someone you care about.

Person A says  "Yes!" Person B says "No!" 

Continue going back and forth.

Then switch - Person A says, "No!" and Person B says "Yes!" 

Continue going back and forth.

Then change to "Screw You!" Both A and B say, "Screw You" and go back and forth.

Then switch to "Why?" Both A and B ask, "Why?" and go back and forth.

Then stop, breathe in the other person's essence and say, "I am sorry". 

 Both A and B say, "I'm sorry" and switch, going back and forth. 

Then stop and look deep into the other person's eyes: this is the person you are fighting for.
