Real Dialogue offers skills and a way of talking that can shift difficult conversations into generative conflict and understanding. The lens of the nervous system and Polyvagal Theory offers empowering information around belonging, activation/triggers, and co-regulation. Exploring a conflict through your somatic experience can support your own regulation to be able to return to the relationship with more capacity. One person seeking support, sign up for one hour. Two or more people seeing support to talk through the conflict together, sign up for two hours. To sign up: email Abbi at [email protected] Click here to learn more about Real Dialogue. |
