Season 1 wraps up!
Non-Violent Communication (NVC) trainer Katie Testa joins me to unpack an empowering methodology that tackles an essential question: how do you interact with your every day internal chatter?
 
Discussed:

– Untangling feelings from thoughts
– Developing a vocabulary of feelings (which isn’t common in our culture)
– Making a specific request of another person (be ready to hear “no”)
– NVC and negative self-talk
– There is positive intention for every voice in your head
– Bringing curiosity to the inner critic
– Just pause. Just notice your parts.
– Meditate for 4 minutes or 6 minutes? Joel’s inner conflict.
– How to be Radically Honest
– Don’t listen to people’s words
– A criticism of NVC…
– You don’t have to use NVC
– Being aware of role playing to be a “good” person
– All goes back to self
