Dig deep communication

Well it has been a little over a year since I have been to my blog. I forgot how to get to it! Here I am today heading to something called communologue tomorrow. It is a workshop on learning to listen and communicate better in groups. An Imago therapist is putting it on and since I am an Imago therapist I thought I would check it out. I have read a little bit about it. It states, do not judge or speak like you have the answer. I have heard a lot of people in my day speak like they know it all. We all have something to say and it matters. Listening is big, one has to learn how to really listen. Listen without thinking what you are going to say , listen to the other person, cross the bridge to who they are and just LISTEN>
Hope to write more often, let you know how the workshop goes.

Why is it so difficult sometimes?

I often wonder if others really understand me. We all communicate from such a place that is only ours, having to do with family of origin, school, religion, the environment and other influences from the time we were conceived. So many arguments, conflict, divorce, family disputes and worse occur just because of a lack of communication. Hurt is usually what has happened and unless we delve deep within ourselves honestly we won' t know that. Maybe our hurt is not even about the other person or what they did. It probably isn't. It has more to do with the past, our childhoods and we did or did not get. Wow, whoever would have thought. For today I will remember that we all come from our own frames of reference. Each of us individuals on this planet learning to experience life at its fullest. JOY
