Saying Hard Things without Pushing People Away

In-Person Workshop in Gainesville, Florida - at Sage Wellness

Title: Saying Hard Things without Pushing People Away

Are you wanting to express yourself but find that the other person gets hurt or defensive?

Are you wanting to learn better ways to feel understood when you are having unmet needs, and wanting understanding?

“The most basic of all human needs is the need to be understood.”
– Ralph G. Nichols

In this workshop we will focus on how to be honest with responsibility.
How to share our world with another with words that help them see us.

What happened, what needs you are having, why it's important for you, what is happening within your world... and avoid unconsciously (or consciously) blaming, labeling, and putting the responsibility of your experience onto others.

In this workshop, Kathleen will model some communication scenarios, support participants to process their own situations, and create a safe space for practicing new skills (if desired) that you can carry into your life right away.

Objectives:
1. Be able to define universal human needs.
2. Be able to connect to your own needs and body sensations.
3. Be able to recognize when you want to blame, and how to translate that to your own experience and unmet needs.
4. Successfully practice verbal responses that highlight values and needs.

Please Register, seats are limited to 12.
