Nothing to lose
You want better relationships? You better work. You better take some responsibility for your side of things.
You’d better not assume that you’ll just “figure it out”. You’d best not assume that you don’t need to try practice exercises when stress levels are low so you can practice plastic change in the way you respond in a way your nervous system can manage.
I’m not here to tell you how to listen. I’m here to help you try things and see how your body responds to them and learn what to do from there from experience - both on the sharing and the listening side.
The simplest, least amount of effort possible with massive effectiveness is to improve the way that you listen. It’s tuning you into the energy of receptivity and understanding that the energy of the person in front of you is not your responsibility to take on. You can just listen. And if you need more, you can just reflect. We will cover both.
If you want to get better at letting things lie and not making things worse when you’re in a conversation with someone that you find challenging, you should join the course.
If you find it difficult to talk about your problems and want to get better at opening up, this course is also for you. No one is going to give you advice, but you will be guided on some reflection and openly share what you discover and learn. Listening is easier for me than sharing, and it’s great to have a place to practice both.
If you want to improve your communication skills, you have to practice. It sounds dumb. It might even feel dumb for a lot of people at first. Why do I need to practice listening? I hear things all day.
I want people that are more interested in being a person their friends go to and a place their kids and loved ones feel safe opening up to, while practicing not being an island who rejects help themselves. This is a basic practice exercise course where you get a little of both sides, practice with practical skills, and skill development.
Tomorrow we start, so this is the last warning to join!
