Relationships Part 2 with David Weinstock

Living Connected - NVC

We recorded this 7 days before my mom passed and I was so tired and exhausted. I had forgotten to put in my headphones in. It truly messed up my recording and you will hear my audio with both Kyle and David in the background. Because of this screw up it took me over 12 hrs to edit that is sooo long. I did give myself compassion for this. I wanted to give you heads up incase you heard some things that don’t line up. I know I am behind in keeping up on releasing of episodes. It’s been hard to edit when I am reliving listening to what it was like for me during my moms passing. It’s hard to hear. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This is a continuation of our time with David Weinstock. We are talking about how important relationship is, when it comes to NVC. We also have a listener who wrote in some questions for David and we were able to get answers to a couple of them. David talks about his practices with NVC. We do bring in some of the mourning and celebration that both have a sense of gratitude. David said, “When we listen with empathy we are listening to life. It’s the space around those moments of connection.”

Parts of relationship is to know how to self-regulate. When we are in relationship with another person there might be part of our history that comes up when we have conflict. Being in relationship with another is to be in relationship with yourself. And that is having awareness for when we may need to self-regulate in high-energy moments. We can learn and grow being in the presence of others. When we feel contracted that is a sign to pay attention to, because we will then need to move into self-empathy if we can and connect to Self.

David has been phenomenal to speak to and get to know during this process. I hope it is the same for you. Please don’t hesitate to write us an email or send a voice memo we can share with all of our listeners.
