Trainer Tip: To defuse anger and create space for resolution, hear the other person’s feelings and needs.

However, you'll be more likely to experience a powerful shift, and build your capacity, if you try it anyways.
Ever wish you knew how you might experience more choice when you've been triggered, instead of being trapped in old habits and unmet needs? Wish you could REALLY heal old internal messages that tell you you're not good enough… not loveable… or not deserving? Join veteran CNVC Certified Trainer, Mary Mackenzie, for this 6-session course designed to deepen your ability to connect with self and heal your past through the process of Self-empathy.
The first session of this course is available for all to listen to and enjoy.
