A phrase used to temper emotions after direct, if not harsh, feedback. It's used to remind the receiver that their relationship is primary and important, and the feedback or comment comes with no intention to ruin the relationship, only to strengthen it.
People love Patrick's self-help program because even though he's super direct, he keeps the relationship intact. His trick is to say "are we still friends?" throughout the tough sessions. He'll call you out and yet somehow you don't feel beat down. I think that's why he's always booked.
Patrick: "You drank and gambled all your money away. You've chased away anyone who ever dared to love you. You're a total clusterfuck. Now look in that mirror right there and tell me who you are and who you can be without blaming anyone."
Me: *big sigh* "Hmmm... that big mirror?"
Patrick: "Yea... are we still friends?"
Me: *chuckles* ... "Yea... I guess we are."
