Everyone wants to communicate effectively. It is human nature to want to be heard, seen, understood and understanding.
NOT SO EASY, THOUGH! Communicating well can lead to so much more than a feeling of satisfaction; it is also a key to good health!
Of course, each of us has our own natural communication style. And in many circumstances those styles serve us well. But during times of stress or conflict, (and particularly with those important to us) we forget how to make our needs known or even what our needs are.
Grounding mind-body exercises can open us up to each other; guided meditations reveal our visceral responses to stress and conflict (high blood pressure, pulse rate, etc.) and they also can lead us to a more healthy response!
Once you are aware of your responses, you can learn to monitor, re-direct, and then respond in a way that has more meaning for you and others.
Managing stress hormones so they are not causing ill health, finding self-calming techniques and taking charge of the way you express yourself is life changing.
I have run several different types of communication workshops in a variety of settings, including a workshop at Cape Cod Community College on Dealing with Difficult People and workshops on Assertiveness for Women at We Can.
You are invited to attend a FREE 1/2 hour intro on Aug 23, 4pm to see if September 9th's half-day workshop will be right for you. It is entitled, How Mind-Body Techniques Enhance Traditional Assertiveness Training. Sign up
Additionally, on Oct 21, at Cape Cod Community College, I am scheduled to teach Conversations Managers Don't Want to Have. Contact CCCC or email me for info.
Please take a quick look below for a sample tip you will pick up at the workshops.
Contact me if you have any questions about individual and couple sessions, as well as the workshops mentioned.
I look forward to seeing you!

| Two Communication Styles to Avoid |
 Help in Identifying a few ineffective yet common communication styles!
People often misunderstand passive aggressive and Indirect styles. Both of these styles create isolation from and angry feelings toward our loved ones.
See if you can identify them in your life! web site
Passive aggressive is an aggressive behavior though the person is often "trying to be nice" by avoiding conflict, disagreements and anger. Rather than express anger or hurt (or other difficult, uncomfortable emotions,) a person may act it out. For example, not showing up at an appt, showing up late, saying they will do X and not following through.
Indirect communicators are not straightforward or direct. For example, instead of saying "I can't do this or that," they will give excuses and explanations, causing confusion and frustration for the listener.
Both these styles can seem to be "very nice" but they are not satisfying or healthy!
We can learn to do things differently! September 9th's 1/2 day workshop will explain how to avoid these behaviors, what to replace them with and how to deal with them in others. Join Us
REMEMBER...
Conflict and stress are always present and always being managed--either poorly (by ignoring) or positively. They do not go away. Email me
