Life changing skills to navigate misunderstandings and hurts.
Do you long to feel seen, heard and appreciated in relationships?
Are you tired of misunderstandings that occur with those you love?
Do you avoid discussing the big stuff to keep the peace?
Do you wish you could resolve relationship issues quickly?I feel you! After spending 12 years supporting people from all walks of life to transform their personal conflicts in businesses, communities and schools throughout Australia, there are a few things I’ve learnt and …
#1 We inherit the way we communicate
Our communication style was formed when we were young, in a family that dealt with conflict in one of 3 ways: FIGHT – yelling it out, FLIGHT – walking away , or FREEZE – pretending nothing is wrong. Each of these childhood responses is reactive and often just lead us to say or do things we regret, making matters worse.#2 What we don’t say grows resentment
Most of us fear that if we talk about what’s upsetting us things will just get worse , so we shy away from talking about the ‘big stuff’. This constant need to compromise leads us to ongoing resentment and disappointment. We shut down.#3 The longer it goes on the worse it gets
When misunderstanding arises we pull away, and blame them. They do the same. What we say and do in these times often creates more hurt and erodes trust between us. The longer that the situation goes on, the more trust is lost and we also begin to lose hope. It literally feels like love dies.The good news is… we can learn to:
Respond to others with clarity and compassion
Express our needs so we are understood
Repair hurt and regrow trustIn my work with corporations, groups, individuals & couples all over the world I’ve discovered that ANYONE can learn clear, compassionate communication to transform conflict.
