Listen to live mini-coaching moments focused on helping people connect with themselves and others by speaking their truth with kindness and compassion, and listening through new filters. Get new scripts for stuck situations, hear new ways of responding to old relationship dynamics and get guidance on how to approach these situations with empathy, self-awareness, and effective communication strategies. Here, we emphasize understanding both one's own needs and the needs of others, creating safe spaces for vulnerable conversations, and finding ways to express oneself authentically while respecting others' boundaries.
Conversations from the Heart
#48 - What can I do when you get triggered?
As we run through our everyday lives, we'll inevitably bump up against other humans who might be less resourced than we are.
Catching others as they're having a bad day can provide us stellar opportunities to increase our own empathy, and we don't even have to say a word.
On this week's episode, we delve into ways to manage our own nervous systems amidst the triggered nervous systems of others, including:
- 4:24 How can someone be verbally aggressive and still profess love?
- 12:59 What yelling does, and doesn't do
- 16:54 How can NVC help me when I feel frozen?
- 24:06 How can capacity building help me field someone else's triggered reactions?
- 30:13 How can I get better at holding my own needs along with someone else's?
- 37:37 The 2 part practice for fielding someone else's triggered response
