You Never Listen!

Humans yearn to be heard and understood. Yet, though we can speak, often we don’t communicate skillfully. We may blunder around blindsided by arguments and cantankerous relationships that distress us … for days, months, or years! This distress pumps too much cortisol (stress hormone) through our bodies and can contribute significantly to many chronic conditions, i.e. heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high susceptibility to illness. We also have body chemistry (i.e. endorphins) which build up our immune systems, are calming, promote good feelings and well being. Endorphins can be released by positive experiences such a good nurturing relationships fostered by skillful communication! This course aims to develop these skills and enhance the health and happiness of the participants.
