  • Using anger as a positive force for change
  • Balancing strong boundaries with compassion

Anger just wants to be present in order to create momentum for the change to happen
In this episode of 'A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment', host Scott Snibby sits down with Meenadchi, a somatic healing practitioner, to discuss her book 'Decolonizing Nonviolent Communication'. The conversation kicks off with Scott recounting his experiences with Marshall Rosenberg's 'Nonviolent Communication' (NVC) and how it has both helped and failed him in various life situations. Enter Meenadchi, who brings a fresh perspective to NVC by addressing the societal power structures that can exacerbate conflicts.
Her approach integrates a distinctly Buddhist middle way, balancing strong boundaries with love and compassion, even for adversaries. This episode is packed with personal anecdotes and practical advice on improving communication by understanding and embodying the tools of NVC in a way that acknowledges cultural contexts and systemic power dynamics. Meenadchi shares her journey of healing and transformation, emphasising the importance of anger as a catalyst for change and the need for emotional support systems.
The discussion also touches on the importance of recognising systemic power structures and finding agency within them. By the end of the episode, you'll gain valuable insights into how to communicate more effectively and compassionately in your own life. Don't miss out on this enriching conversation that promises to leave you with practical tools and a deeper understanding of nonviolent communication.
