Choosing Life introduces the principles and practice of Compassionate Communication.
We explore in practical ways based on your own examples how we tend to interpret the world through our thoughts and how it is that so much of our thinking can be judgemental, blaming, of others and of ourselves. We learn to differentiate our thinking about a situation from the facts of a situation and practice using this distinction to support us in connecting to a place of values. We also explore how feelings are a guide to my longings and the beauty that lies in them whether met or unmet in that moment. Using these insights, we practice empathic listening and expression as means of seeing and hearing others and being seen and heard ourselves as we would truly wish to be seen and heard.
The emphasis on all courses is on practical work in pairs or small groups in a safe and supported environment.
"The course has enriched my life… I feel more connected - for once its about me and how I communicate with others, its not about wanting to change other people's behaviour towards me"
