Learning the Skill of Real Dialogue

CE Hours 3

About this live event

This course introduces the Skill of Real Dialogue as a mindfulness practice for remaining present and open during emotional activation. Staying alert and responsive during emotional conflicts or disagreements requires special mindfulness skills – the ability to concentrate and remain open while being activated. This skill will help in doing clinical work, engaging in conflicted conversations in organizational meetings, and learning to navigate your own relationships freshly. You will learn how about human emotions, emotional entanglements and how to lower threat levels while speaking authentically and listening accurately. The focus of this course is learning how to maintain self-awareness with clarity in seeing/hearing/feeling during stressful interchanges with others in order not to dehumanize self or others.

Learning Objectives

  • Apply the mindfulness practice, the "Snow Globe of seeing/hearing/feeling" to your subjectivity.
  • Identify and apply each of the three-part skills of Real Dialogue: Speaking for Yourself, Listening Mindfully, and Remaining Curious
  • Identify and explain a "difficult conversation."
