Some Points We Discussed

  • Rachel discovered her calling while completing her graduate degree in psychotherapy.
  • We don’t always choose the work, the work often chooses us if we just listen.
  • We avoid difficult conversations due to a lack of knowledge of how to handle them in a compassionate and powerful way and because we are scared.
  • Six ways women avoid conflict:
    • Passive Aggressive
    • Overwhelm
    • Distraction
    • Blame
    • Shut-Down
    • Self Flagellation
  • One way to live drama-free:
    • Create a detailed plan for addressing difficult conversations
  • Anger is important to recognise as anger speaks in defence of something sacred.
  • Anger is connected to our passion and helps us set healthy boundaries.
  • Most people are not afraid of anger, they are afraid of drama.
  • A healthy expression of anger is to communicate for the feeling.
