Changing the subject can offer breathing room, privacy, or time to gather your thoughts. It can also leave a conversation unfinished. You can consider what needs a pause, what needs a boundary, and what you may want to return to.
Recall a moment when attention moved away from a difficult topic. How did that happen?
What part of the conversation, if any, did you want to move past?

How could you ask for time, stay with one point, or come back to it when you are ready?
