HOW OUR LANGUAGE CAN ENTRENCH US in a VICTIMHOOD MINDSET or it can HELP US TO RELEASE OURSELVES FROM IT!

In this podcast, Alan explores the ways in which a 'victimhood mindset' can become established within us if we don't stop to consider how we speak about our difficult situations. It will often be that simple changes in how we say things....developing more 'mindful communication'....will help us to review how we are seeing our difficult situations and in turn change how we are dealing with them in ways that feel more personally powerful, more active and from less of a position of victimhood.   See the video of this podcast at this link: https://youtu.be/Z7rTP-HLA_Q The video Alan refers to later in the podcast about a quote by Eckhart Tolle can be found at this link: Contemplations on Conflict: ECKHART TOLLE - ON AN UNCONSCIOUS LEVEL, YOU DO NOT WANT POSITIVE CHANGE https://youtu.be/Whb4Mnik3Ys   Alan Sharland has been a Mediator and Conflict Coach for over 25 years working in a wide range of dispute situations including neighbour disputes, workplace disputes, complaints (NHS, Special Educational Needs, University Student), group disputes and others.
