Good communiation is essential to any healthy relationship, whether it's between spouses, family members, friends, or co-workers. In this book Susan Chapman, a marriage and family therapist and a longtime meditation teacher, explains how mindfulness can be brought to bear in the way we speak and listen to each other so that we can strengthen our connections and better accomplish our goals. Drawing on Buddhist principles and on her training as a psychotherapist, Chapman explains how the practice of mindfulness—learning to become fully present in the moment—makes it possible for us to listen more deeply to others and to develop greater clarity and confidence about how to respond. Chapman highlights five key elements of mindful communication: silence, mirroring, encouraging, discerning, and responding, and she dedicates a chapter of the book to each. Other topics include identifying your communication patterns and habits; uncovering the hidden fears that often sabotage communication; staying open in the midst of difficult conversations so that we can respond wisely and skillfully; and learning how mindful communication can help us to become more truthful, compassionate, and flexible in our relationships.
The Five Keys
The 12-Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous has been used successfully for addiction recovery worldwide. However, many individuals have difficulty using the program because they are not comfortable with its religious sounding content. These people are looking for a recovery solution that has a solid technical foundation, not something faith-based or religious in nature.The 12-Step program is much more than it appears on the surface. The program has a strong technical foundation and has been successful because it is grounded in over 200 years of experiments with addiction recovery that came before it in the United States. This includes work in medicine, psychology, psychiatry, and spirituality. The religious language comes from only one of the program's influences.The Five Keys provides insight into five areas of the 12-Step program that make the faith-based content transparent and allows you to use the program without a God or a Higher Power.
