I like this a lot. A lot of similar thoughts here.

I think the biggest issue is not coming up with a list of techniques etc., but with taking care to explicitly set a frame for interaction which is different from the "default" (i.e. debating with all its pitfalls), and having it register with everyone on a deep enough level.

As the biggest hurdle to success, I'd identify not a lack of tools or rationality skills, but having enough training/awareness to remember to stick to the frame throughout the interaction.

Yeah, awareness is key, as is the emotional trust, which is fundamental to helping be emotionally invested enough to make the awareness easier.
