Non Violent Communication is a loaded term, and evokes strong feelings sometimes. This week’s show with Tatiana and Stephanie features special guest Pamela Morgan.
She is a leading attorney in the space, and has been a beloved member of the community since 2014. On a more personal level, she has been a wonderful friend to Tatiana and has been kind enough to offer guidance on how to grow emotional intelligence. At first the ladies review a bit about attachment theory, but then Pam shares with us what she’s learned after delving into Marshall Rosenburg’s book “Non Violent Communication”. Pam also talks a bit about her book Crypto Inheritance Planning. We discuss how to protect your loved ones when you pass away, and the best way to store your cryptos to pass on the information while keeping your keys secure.

Friends and Sponsors of the Show:
I really enjoyed this episode andI share Tatiana’s skepticism on non violent communication but for different reasons. I was given very basic training in non violent communication many years ago as par of group therapy where it made sense but later ran into a couple people who used a weird version of it to basically be complete assholes; their attitude was basically that they could say anything they wanted but by using the write wording did it so that the person they where talking too would look like a jerk or crazy if they reacted to the insults being given. This isn’t criticism of the idea, just how it can be used.
This is exactly my concern! I have seen this too, where people use their language as a tool of manipulation. There must be a middle ground, because those types of people need to be eliminated. I guess it’s just a process, and these are tools to help, but maybe are not the be-all end-all? IE you can try this, but if they still don’t “get it”, maybe it’s time to move on…. Thanks for listening and for the share! 🙂 -Tatiana
