Want to learn how to listen deeply so your loved ones feel heard, seen, felt and understood?
Check out the March intake: https://events.humanitix.com/be-your-best-program-march-intake

"People don't want to be talked out of their feelings..."
...and this is what the 12 Communication Roadblocks can do. While they're usually attempts at people wanting to help the troubled person, they often make it worse.

Instead, try empathic listening--proof that you truly get where the other person is coming from, what they're experiencing.

So often when we hear or see someone irritated or upset or worried, WE are uncomfortable so WE want them to get over it, cheer up, move on, etc.

But it's their feeling, their emotion--accept what they feel and Active Listen to them.

"This short video chronicles the amazing history of our international organisation. Dr. Thomas Gordon, the creator of Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.), as well as L.E.T., T.E.T., Y.E.T., founded this company in 1962. Since then, over 50 countries have adopted and offer the Gordon Model in their own countries.

Dr. Gordon was a three-time Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, an award-winning clinical psychologist and an incredible human being. He created the Behavior Window (your Relationship GPS), the three-part Confrontive I-Message, Shifting Gears and No-Lose Conflict Resolution.

Have you heard of Active Listening? The Roadblocks to Communication? That's because of Dr. Gordon and P.E.T. He incorporated Active Listening (created by Dr. Carl Rogers and Richard Farson--mentor and colleagues, respectively) and the Communication Roadblocks--creating a list of 12 of the most common and calling them The Dirty Dozen.

What Dr. Gordon created, is a comprehensive model; comprised of Active Listening, I-Messages, Conflict Resolution and Shifting Gears--powerful skills that can be applied in any situation, in any relationship.

Today, we continue to spread the model around the world! When you take a Gordon workshop, you learn the essential communication skills that have been proven to enable you to have happy, healthy, respectful and productive relationships.

You know the WHY of learning better communication skills--we teach you the HOW."

“When we actively choose rest over productivity, urgency and competition, not only are we directly countering the mechanisms of capitalism, but we are also building our capacity to hold the complexity of this time.”

Some find acronyms helpful to remind them to follow steps, to do all the stuff. :)

This acronym might be useful when you realize where the conversation is in your Behavior Window and you need to utilize Active Listening.
