Skills for Change

Fundamental teachings we study include:

Why do we keep doing more than our share, doing things we aren’t asked to do, or doing things we don’t want to do? Why do we feel resentful or the target of another’s anger?

Depletion/Replenishment Assessment

What energizes you? What tires you? Why are we lured into doing more?

Asking for 100% and Negotiating from There

How do we even know what we want?

Clearing Held Stories

Identifying a “story” vs. observable fact and how to use this skill.
