Often times when something isn’t going the way we think it should with our relationships, we can jump to conclusions and make assumptions. But, curiosity can be a powerful tool, especially during difficult conversations. Next time you’re in a tough conversation, try leading with curiosity, and ask “How can I support you?” or “Are you okay?” It could make all the difference. Are you threatening and destroying trust and safety with your communication or are you creating it. Take our trauma informed communication assessment and find out. Our 27 question assessment helps you to score how well you bring emotional intelligence, inclusiveness, and flexibility to your listening and speaking.

THE #1 Work Conflict my clients report is... Intergenerational miscommunication. Let's talk about it. This often takes the form of inadvetent comments, standards, or expectations that align with outdated work place cultures, policies, and practices. Did you know that you can consciously or unconsciously pass down intergenerational trauma in the work place? This happens when a negative, toxic, or abusive set of work circumstances or conditions is communicated as the: 'Norm OR a 'Right of Passage' OR Required in order to prove you... 'Have what it takes to make it' AND it's not okay. Reconciling this does not start with shaming and blaming. It starts with... 1) Having the difficult conversations, both 1-on-1 and is groups. 2) Validating everyone's previous experiences. 3) Identifying the source of the negative belief, experience, and naming the trauma attached. 4) Consciously dismantling work systems that support passing on intergenerational trauma. 5) Collaborating on a path forward for everyone that values and acknowledges past negative experiences while building better models for the modern workplace.

Feeling stuck in those work conflicts? It's not just about how big they seem, but understanding what triggers them. Let's opt for tackling conflicts head-on with a mindful approach. Share your thoughts in the comments. Let's swap stories and strategies for resolving conflicts with a fresh perspective.

Know your T R I G G E R S! Self-awareness also involves recognising your triggers—the stressful moments that can provoke an exaggerated response. This might mean delving into your past to understand the roots of these reactions. We all carry emotional scars, and certain situations can bring back the memories that caused them, sometimes leading to regrettable behavior. Acknowledging your triggers is the first step toward gaining emotional distance from them and better managing your responses.

Understanding Silent Treatment: Key Signs and Solutions Silent treatment can be more than just a pause in communication—it’s a signal of deeper issues. Recognizing these signs can help you address the problem more effectively: • Intentional Ignoring: When someone purposefully avoids engaging with you, it’s a clear sign they’re using silent treatment as a way to express frustration or disapproval. • Prolonged Upset: They stay upset for an extended period without seeking resolution or discussing their feelings. • Complete Withdrawal: There’s a noticeable lack of conversation and interaction specifically with you, while they maintain normal communication with others. • Normal Behavior with Others: They interact with others as if nothing is wrong, which can make you feel isolated and confused. • Avoidance of Eye Contact: They deliberately avoid looking at you, signaling discomfort or unwillingness to engage. Understanding these signs is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships. Approach the situation with empathy and openness, aiming to create a safe space for honest communication. If these patterns persist, consider reaching out to a counselor for professional support. Addressing these dynamics early can prevent further misunderstandings and help foster stronger, more open connections. . . #MentalHealthAwareness #HealthyRelationships #EmotionalWellbeing #CommunicationSkills #RelationshipAdvice #CounselingSupport #ConflictResolution #MentalHealthMatters #PersonalGrowth #TherapyTalk #SelfCareTips #EmotionalIntelligence #HealingTogether #CounselingServices #RelationshipGoals #MindfulCommunication #MentalHealthSupport #HealthyCommunication #RelationshipCounseling #UnderstandingEmotions

When faced with emotional situations, it's important to remember that de-escalation starts with you. Stay calm and focused on finding a resolution.💡 #CommunityOfChange

This lesson should not be reflecting on the aspect of hating on your family and loved ones, especially if they’re in business with you. Setting those necessary boundaries and what you can tolerate is key. Is toxic behaviour affecting your professional focus? 🤔 Feeling the need to create distance to safeguard your sanity and productivity? 🚀 Take a step back and prioritize your well-being. I learned that toxic conduct may be a significant roadblock to getting things done. Dealing with continual negativity, passive-aggressive communication, or outright hostile conduct may be extremely exhausting and demotivating. To protect my sanity and attention, I've discovered that setting boundaries and avoiding toxic people is essential. It is not always easy, especially when you need to. #Focus #ProfessionalDevelopment #Introspective #HumanNature
