Is My Voice Welcome Here?

-An inquiry into the deeper dynamics of human interaction. In this episode, I share a few experiences and insights about how structural power imbalances and inequalities influence our interactions with each other. Thoughts on why we may feel hesitant to share our opinions, ideas and reflections verbally in social situations Suggestions for increasing the likelihood that we will experience satisfying verbal interactions with others. One way we can co-create safe containers for satisfying interactions: Agree on explicit yet flexible guidelines for our interaction. In advance. In this way, we create a field of safety for spontaneous, dynamic, mutually satisfying engagement to arise between and among individuals. It is possible to: Address and level uneven power dynamics Minimize layers of separation Meet each other authentically, respectfully, and vulnerably, heart to heart Do you collude? Sel...

HEALING THE WOUND OF NON-SUPPORT

We must receive support before we can ever give it Many of us were born and raised in homes where we did not receive the support we really needed in order to feel safe, seen, grounded, and valued. For whatever reasons, our parents and families and perhaps even our communities were unable to give us enough responsive attention for us to anchor a feeling of being empowered and supported into our Beings. Because we did not receive this support for our very Being, our essence, we came to distrust ourselves and those around us. We became unable to receive support, even when it was sincerely offered.

Living with Emotional intensity and remaining Anchored

Yet I easily fall into others’ emotions, losing myself, losing my own emotional balance and losing perspective. It’s not comfortable nor sustainable.

If you could have access to a simple subtle practice that would moderate and eventually free you from emotional roller coaster-ing, yet allow you to have fully alive, emotionally connected, ...
