Learning Through Doing
Working with Personal Images
C.G. Jung suggested that the language of the psyche is the image. What is the psyche? It’s the totality of who you are – your conscious and unconscious.
Most of who we are is a mystery, and science backs that up. You really cannot be sure of the hidden agenda behind what you do, how you think, and why you’re attracted to or repelled by certain people.
​
Just as you need to learn Spanish to communicate with Spanish speakers, learning the language of the unconscious is required to interpret the messages your unconscious sends you all day long.

Template for Difficult Conversations
Do you sweat when your boss calls you into the office? Do you want to be more effective giving feedback to your team members or manager? Are you stuck in a co-dependent pattern with your partner at home? Do you have an authority complex? What do you say when your teenage children start drifting away?
In the book, Crucial Conversations (2002, Kerry Patterson, et al.), the authors define a crucial conversation as one where the stakes feel high. What’s at stake could be someone’s respect, income, identity, sense of self, or even income. I added my own spin to the Start with Heart principle (from Crucial Conversations, 2002, Kerry Patterson, et al.) and created a template.
