    Connecting with Others

    Trainer Tips · 1 - 2 minutes · 9/21/2023

    Trainer Tip: Do you sometimes feel lonely and disconnected from others? If so, look at how you may be participating in supporting that outcome and what you can do differently. For instance, if you want support or connection - but prioritize looking composed no matter how sad, hurt or angry you feel, you may shield yourself from authentically and vulnerably asking those things. Instead, make those requests.

  7. Wishing For More Maturity & Skill In Others

    Wishing For More Maturity & Skill In Others

    LaShelle Lowe-Chardé

    Practice Exercises · 3 - 5 minutes · 12/23/2021

    In some situations you might expect people to show a degree of maturity or skill. When they don't, your anger-fueled response doesn't lead to lasting improved relationship change. Instead, find someone who retains focus on your feelings and needs rather than colluding with you about what should(n't) be. This can support greater acceptance, grief, vulnerability, groundedness and discernment, from which next steps can arise.
