This is timely. (as always) Have been struggling with social anxiety at work. And almost each day there I want to RUN home. Who knew working at a funeral home could house so many egos, toxic behaviors and unawakened, thoughtless souls. {ouch} I am really digging deeply to practice loving kindness with my work colleagues. Yes, they anger me. What comes out of peoples mouths continues to shock me. This will be saved in my Tara Brach playlist. ~Thank You~ 🌿🕊️💕🌊🌍
Thank you so much Tara. Exactly what I needed to hear today. I had just come home from a walk and reacted to a dog that scared me. I ended up feeling really ashamed of my behaviour. When I think of it now I realize that I have a great need of feeling safe and being heard. 🙏
Love this section where she talks about "Why do we shout when we are angry?" When we are angry, our hearts are far apart. When we shout, we are trying to cover the distance between our hearts. When two people fall in love, they talk softly because their hearts are close. Brilliant!
One of the things I notice in communication to try and reestablish connection, or when I'm "rehearsing" is that I can use word choices that still carry the intention of shifting blame and these can serve as triggers for the other person. For example, :"When you did x, I felt abandoned, rejected, disrespected, etc." I'm still saying, "you did this bad thing to me." What I really mean to say, if I'm being 100% responsible, is that I feel afraid of not belonging, of losing connection, of not being respected or loved, of something to that effect. It's does take a mindful pause, because it can take a while to push through wanting to hold onto blame and wrong-making and to find the language that best supports reconnection with 100% responsibility.
I listened to this video over 200 times dealing with so much pain and strong emotions. It has completely changed my life. Every time I felt the wave of emotion I would put this on. It retrained my brain and now I see and respond to my emotions in a totally different way. Thank you 💕
Thank you! I worked through something that has been really eating at me for months now. I know what I must do and of course it involves love, communication, and compassion. ♥
The U-turn is to turn to one's emotions, and tell the other about it. Which is a very risky thing to do: show your vulnerability to the person who is angry at you... You really have to be sure the persone will love and respect you enough not to use this to his/her own advantage and hurt you even more. Tough call...
You are falling into the wrong thought that responding to anger with love and compassion, or at the very least calm resoluteness is 'vulnerability'. It actually is not. There is great power (not the kind of power we are used to) in maintaining one's cool. In keeping one's voice low, and in pausing before speaking. Think about it...you aren't feeding into the other's anger, but rather neutralising it. Our emotions, and their worst manifestations, do not speak of those we direct them at, but rather of ourselves. If the prefrontal cortex dominates, you will not be victim to your own anger, but neither to that of the other. If the lymbic dominates, we are returning to the primitive caveman.

This was a really profound and beautifully delivered talk. Thank you. Peace and happiness 🙏
I believe that this is your most profound video. Thanks.
I said the same 👍

My mind is perverse. When she was talking about passive aggressive, I had an urge to go to Medium and tackle misogynists in the responses 😅🤣
One shouts louder because he/she thinks that makes them right.
