Finding the words to say how you feel and what’s important to you can be difficult. You would like to express yourself in a way others can hear you without defensiveness and misunderstandings. You would like to listen to them in the same way.
Saying what’s really true for you, being heard, and hearing others deeply is one of the most satisfying aspects of relationships. It can also be the most difficult. Learning these skills doesn’t just help with conflict, it also helps create more authenticity and connection with the people who are most important to you.
The workshop will be experientially focused. We will introduce a concept and skill and then you will take time in a structured exercise in a small group or pair to practice and integrate what you are learning. You will learn using examples that you choose from your own life.
