Struggling to communicate effectively in high-stress situations? Learn how simplifying your approach can make a world of difference. It's crucial to frame your message effectively. When tensions rise, whether with clients or team members, try presenting only a couple of options at a time. This segmentation can help ease cognitive load—like offering a mental breather! Focus on accessibility by translating high-level jargon into understandable terms. This not only improves comprehension but also prevents overwhelm that might lead others to disengage. Be the bridge that simplifies complex ideas to enhance engagement.

Conflict and Challenging conversations are a constant in our daily communication and life.  And just like most people aren’t really taught how to effectively communicate their concerns, complaints and emotions in ways that others can hear them, most people are also not taught how to effectively navigate conflict, disagreement and challenging conversations. That is why I created this free training "A Trauma Informed Approach to Navigating Conflict" By the end of the webinar participants will:    ·     Define Trauma Responsiveness: Distinguish the nature of difficult conversations and what defines conflict. ·     Discuss Influences on Perception: Understand how trauma, personality, and cognitive filters affect our perception of (and often amplify) conflict. ·     Recognize Skills for Trauma-Responsive Communication: Learn how acquiring these skills helps us effectively manage, regulate, and navigate circumstances when difficult conversations and conflict arise. ·     Identify Next Steps: Explore actionable steps to train yourself and your teams in effective trauma-responsive communication for the benefit of the organization.

Welcome to our 4th Moody Talk on Interpersonal Effectiveness. We'll be focusing on Self Respect Effectiveness or How do I stick by my own morals and beliefs during a conflict. We all have a hard time coping with conflicts - and, unfortunately, sometimes we will back down from that conflict while agreeing to something we may not feel lines up with our own values. DBT created a set of skills to help remind ourselves how to feel good about our decisions made during a difficult situation. The acronym FAST gives us keywords to remember while we are trying to do what is best for us. F: (Be) Fair to yourself and others. Remember to Validate your own feelings and wishes as well as the other person's. A: (No) Apologies. Don't apologize for making your request or for having your own opinions or disagreeing with the other person. S: Stick to your Values. Don't sell out your own integrity for reasons that are not EXTREMELY important. Stick to your Guns. T: (Be) Truthful. Lying and manipulating will not help the situation. Don't exaggerate or make up excuses. As always, if you have any questions or comments about Interpersonal Effectiveness, please let me know. DM me or comment below! If you are having a hard time coping with your emotions or you feel hopeless, I hope you will reach out to a trusted loved one, your doctor/therapist or the 988 suicide text hotline. You are not alone.

We often avoid uncomfortable conversations in an attempt to maintain peace, but in reality, we’re delaying the growth and resolution that can only come from open, honest communication. Whether in personal relationships or the workplace, uncomfortable conversations are often the ones we need the most. They can challenge us, build resilience, and foster deeper trust. But avoiding them? That only perpetuates misunderstanding and prevents real progress. Remember, the discomfort is temporary, but the consequences of not addressing what’s beneath the surface can last much longer. #CommunicationMatters #EmotionalIntelligence #Psychology #MentalHealthAdvocate #BeComfortableWithTheUncomfortable
