Yvette Erasmus Season 1 Episode 4

Are you ready to unlock the delicate dynamics of your relationships? In this episode we talk about the importance of making implicit information explicit, and explore how compassion, proactivity, and understanding can transform your interactions. You'll get practical tools for creating more understanding and awareness, essential for effective communication and fulfilling relationships. Join us in today’s episode to learn how awareness and self-compassion practices can help you respond differently to triggers, giving you greater control and understanding.
