Compassionate Communication: Connecting Head and Heart - Two Day Modular Workshop

Description

Small Group Modular Online Workshop - Two Days

Module 1: Tuesday 11 June 2024

Module 2: Tuesday 2 July 2024

"[Compassionate Communication] reminds us that humans are meant to relate to one another. It helps us reframe how we express ourselves and hear others. Instead of automatic reactions, our words become conscious responses based on our awareness of what we are perceiving, feeling and needing. We are led to express ourselves with honesty and clarity, whilst simultaneously paying others a respectful and empathic attention. In any exchange, we listen for our own deeper needs, and those of others." - Marshall Rosenberg

Effective, empathic and non-judgemental communication remains at the heart of your work as a coach, therapist or supervisor. Compassionate Communication can help us deepen our own self-awareness in order to recognise and express our own feelings and needs, and to hear the underlying unmet needs of others, often expressed in unuseful ways, such as anger, aggression or emotional manipulation.

Introducing the the modality of Non-Violent Communication (NVC), also known as Mindful, or Compassionate Communication, this 2-day modular workshop will explore how we express ourselves and how we hear others - how we can increase our ability to create meaningful connections, both with others and with ourselves, even in disagreement, and how we can empower our clients to do the same within their own relationships.

Aims and Objectives:

• To introduce some of the concepts of the therapeutic modality of Compassionate or Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
• To discover, through experiential learning, how aspects of NVC can be invaluable when working with your clients.
• To explore how NVC can help us deal more effectively with conflict.
• To learn the value of NVC for developing our own self-awareness and reflexivity.

Course fee £300.00, to include comprehensive course manual.
