Oren is the BEST. I took his Authentic Communication course early this year. I’ve learned so much. THANK YOU SIR🙋🏼‍♀️

[michelletetreault]

I would so much love for there to be a conversation about withholding and shutdown as a form of "communication"...of power, of manipulation...perhaps even to "gaslight".

I like how he is very Calm, it shows that he knows and uses what he is telling us

Are you familiar with 'Focusing' by Eugene Gendlin, Oren? Thank you for the wonderful talk you gave. I just found you and I'm so happy for that.

Thank you, Oren. Very useful foundations for human communication: Lead with Presence of mind/body (internal--feel sensations & pause); Intention comes from curiosity and care and addresses all needs, not just mine, such as understanding (relational--listen & "am I getting it?"); & Attention to focus on what matters, the why, which leads to compassion (external). Does this also apply to communicating with animals, such as dogs?

3:03 far from being something that's merely 'accessible', I'd say it's the fulcrum that makes us human: communication
