#55 - How to Stay Engaged When You Want to Run

Changing our default patterns in relationships takes intention and effort.  Whether we're wanting to act differently with loved ones at home or with strangers in public, relational transformation starts by turning inward and working with ourselves, first.

In this week's conversation we discuss:

• 1.01  Find information on my upcoming offerings:  Deep Dive into Narcissism and Shame  and winter retreat Getting Grounded in Your Goodness
• 3:16  "My usual MO would be to run .." I want to experience myself in a new way, what can I do? 
• 5:56  How do we establish shared reality with others?
• 9:47  The quickest way to kill generosity.
• 11:53  Finding courage to ask the hard questions I usually avoid asking.
• 14:49  A tip when dealing with avoidant attachment patterns.
• 19:36  Why demands don't work.
• 22:13  Meeting needs vs  caring about needs.
• 25:25  The biggest gift we can give one another.
• 26:24  Responding to a child's unpleasant behavior with nonviolence.
• 33:33  Connecting with a parent to discuss their child's behavior
• 38:20  How to approach "feeling dismissed and invalidated"

For ongoing practice and deeper learning, I warmly invite you to become a member of The School of Human Connection. 

Twice a month, I host live calls where members bring real relationship dilemmas. We slow things down and I'll help you see what's actually happening and how to respond with more integrity, strength and care.

You will find a safe space for live discussions and a supportive community of like-minded, open-hearted humans.
