Used anchors with someone who was belligerent...

**Situation:** My brother was getting belligerent, so I used the anchor of a postcard to transition into a discussion about behavior, and then I future paced him to getting what he wanted after doing what he needed to do. **What happened:** He calmed down and complied with the house rules. **What I learned:** Anchoring is especially powerful with future pacing and values utilization.
