Conscious Communication Skills by Miles

Conscious Communication presents a new way of approaching relationships that shows you how to care about other people, while also taking care of yourself.    In this workshop we will explore together the roots of our most common communication habits and learn to evaluate how well these are working.  Experiential exercises will help change the way you think about your relationships. From this new perspective you will learn how to communicate your ideas, feelings, and needs effectively and honestly without attacking or blaming others, and listen to others without judgment or evaluation.

While you will be encouraged to practice the skills in role plays using real scenarios from your life, you will not be pressured to reveal more than you are comfortable with. For everyone's safety, all sessions will be held in confidentiality and we will not delve too deeply into personal issues.
