Lately, I have enjoyed reading up on, and watching Youtube videos of, Brad Blanton. Blanton is the psychotherapist who developed what he calls, "Radical Honesty," with the byline, "How to transform your life by telling the truth."
I first heard about Radical Honesty about 6 months ago, when
Blanton was interviewed on an NPR radio program. I was impressed, but came away with the impression that Radical Honesty was too much about making moralistic judgments of other people, rather than being radically honest in the way I see NVC guiding me to -- namely, by making myself vulnerable and sharing my rock-bottom truth in the form of my observations, feelings and needs... and avoiding making judgments of others.
I learned, however, that watching Blanton speak reminds me, in some ways, to listening to
Dr. Marshall Rosenberg (the founder of NVC) speak -- clear, inspiring and something that resonates with me deeply.
Have any of you come across Radical Honesty? If so, what has
your impression been?
