Practice groups are available in West Seattle two nights a month as well. Call Moreah Vestan  at (206)938-8385 with any questions and to reserve a spot. If you decide at the last moment, come on anyway.  It’s at my home, 5646 42nd Ave SW, 1 block east of California, between Juneau and Findlay.

We'll talk about accepting responsibility for our actions, so the blame game ends. As we learn this "new" language, we'll practice empathetically receiving what people are saying and requesting.  That includes empathy with ourselves and others who are angry, hurt, scared, etc.   Handouts and resources given out.

Points

  
  • We'll discuss the role of observation, feeling, need and request, and do demos and practice the skills learned. That will cover
  • -Connecting, not Correcting
  • -Translating self-judgments into self-empathy, and
  • -Transforming criticism
  • and judgments of others into compassionate understanding.

Who is it for?

  Anyone interested in learning a more heartfelt way to communicate so both people are heard and connected with.
