When we think about healing from harm, injury, abuse, emotional pain, and that message that we can get, which has truth to it and which is powerful, which says you need to get it out, you need to feel it, sometimes what we need to do first is more to develop strength and actually to put our attention, turn our attention away from the pain, not because we're avoiding it- and this is really key, because we all have those avoidance strategies- but because we recognize that we might not have the resources to be with it yet.
Ever wondered how to communicate without escalating tensions? In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Oren Jay Sofer, a seasoned communication trainer and meditation teacher. Oren opens up about his personal struggles with suppressed anger and how he transformed his approach to interactions through non-violent communication.
His insights, drawn from his book 'Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication', offer practical advice for anyone looking to improve their relationships and emotional well-being. They also touch on Somatic Experiencing, a technique for releasing trauma stored in the body, adding another layer of depth to the conversation. Oren's journey includes life-changing experiences in India and living in a monastery, which profoundly shaped his views on obligation, authority, and societal norms.
The discussion is rich with tips on framing conversations, dealing with guilt and shame, and finding healing through understanding shared human struggles. Whether you're looking to enhance your communication skills or seeking ways to release pent-up emotions, this episode provides a compassionate guide. Tune in for an enlightening and supportive conversation that promises to leave you with valuable tools for better living.
