Details

   People sometimes experience judgments and misunderstandings. In the workshop, we’d practice connecting with feelings and needs to make difficult exchanges productive and satisfying.  
In the workshop, participants learn how to improve interactions in the following areas:
•    Reduce misunderstandings by asking questions that clarify what others say.
•    Cut way down on criticism or judgment by identifying underlying thoughts, feelings, and needs.
•    Focus on solutions (what works) rather than on problems (what doesn't work).
•    Create agreements that build trust and understanding.
•    Learn self-empathy to more peacefully manage difficult interactions.

Points

  
  • •    Changing self-judgments into self-empathy
  • •    Turning criticism, labeling of others into compassionate understanding
  • •    Learning empathy with ourselves and others who are angry, hurt, scared, etc.
  • •    Practicing empathy with "No"
