How can we be honest and empathic at the same time?
We will seek to deepen our trust that being honest can enhance connection, even in conflict situations.
We hope to balance the needs of the moment with a structured course of learning.
1. The Power of Honesty. How to express your honesty without judging or criticizing. How to guess the feelings and needs in another person's honesty.
2. Empathy. Giving attention to feelings and needs helps us get clear what action to take next. Empathy is simple and effective way to deepen our connection to life.
3. Anger. Suppressing anger is dangerous to our health, yet expressing it in the usual way can often damage our relationships. We will explore ways of fully expressing anger that keep us connected to ourselves and others.
4. The Power of Gratitude. We will experience the power that heart-felt gratitude has to nurture all our relationships, connect us to our values, and give us the strength to accomplish our goals.
