Elizabeth English, Ph.D.
Something I often say ....No-onecanresistbeingunderstood!Amazingly, just taking a moment to acknowledge and genuinely understand someone else's needs, can go 95% of the way (sometimes all of the way) towards meeting that need.
In professional settings, I like people to catch my enthusism for, and fascination with, communication, opening the way for it to become a life-long practice and interest. Communication is so central to everything we do. When working with individuals, in groups, on retreats, or individually, I aim for depth and imagination. I combine NVC with perspectives from Focusing, dream-work, body-movement, and Buddhism. I draw on my own practice, sharing in that way my own passions and interests, and speaking from my own experienceand listening to that of others.
My choice is to help people come to greater understanding and harmony within themselves, and with others. I am inspired by the sort of listening that allows all voices, judges none, and can perceive 'below the surface'. Also by the skill andunderstanding that allows us to express ourselves to others from our centre, with authenticity and kindness.
For people to follow their own unique path, finding meaningandrichness, and growing in compassion and wisdom.
