The Dance of Connection: How to Talk to Someone When You're Mad, Hurt, Scared, Frustrated, Insulted, Betrayed, or Desperate

The Dance of Connection: How to Talk to Someone When You're Mad, Hurt, Scared, Frustrated, Insulted, Betrayed, or Desperate by Harriet Lerner
English | 2002 | ISBN: 006095616X, 0060196386 | 272 pages | EPUB | 443 KB

In her most profound book yet, Dr. Harriet Lerner takes us beyond The Dance of Anger and shows us how to "find our voice" with the people who matter the most. With wit and wisdom, Lerner shows us how to "set things right" and heal the most painful disconnections. The Dance of Connection tackles the most difficult problems we face with the people who hurt us:
What is the "two step" that will transform any conversation?
How do we find our voice when we are rejected or cut off? And why won't the person who has harmed us apologize?
How do we take a conversation to the next level when we feel desperate?
What positive steps can we take when the other person is wearing us down with criticism, negativity, excuses, demands, or irresponsible behavior?
How do we put an insensitive parent on the hot seat?
Lerner reveals a startling new definition of what it means to have an "authentic voice" – one that runs counter to the automatic ways we try to speak our truths. The Dance of Connection goes beyond "communication techniques" to provide bold and innovative "voice lessons." Lerner tells us when to lighten up and let things go, and when we need to take specific steps to heal betrayals, inequalities, and broken connections, Whether we're hurting in marriage, family, or friendship, we learn how to speak with honor and personal integrity even when the other person behaves badly – or won't talk at all.
Our capacity for creativity, vitality, and joy depend on connecting well with the key people in our lives. Lerner teaches us how to navigate our most difficult relationships with integrity, courage, and joyous conviction.
