This is really, really, really good. I process verbally, and am married to a partner who processes internally--deeply. All of your suggestions/tools are very, very effective. (I just learned & used the LEAD model. Highly emotional situation. It helped. A LOT.) So, thank you, thank you. And I heartily support and celebrate your recalibration to your Center. --a fellow SubStacker
I am SO glad to hear that Mary! And good for you for putting into practice. If you get a chance to try the interactive coaches, I'd love to hear what you think.
Thanks so much for reading and for your encouragement!
Thank you so much for your work, Jason. ❤️ I am both sad and glad that you’ve gone through what you’ve gone through to be able to write about this in such a helpful way. (I hope that makes sense in the way that I mean for it to).
The Difficult Conversations Coach is amazing. In just a few sentences, it’s already helped me get clarity around how to handle a situation that has been weighing heavily on me for months.
I also wanted to try the Emotional Validation coach, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I will 100% get the course, though.
Hi Ginger! I'm so glad you found it helpful. This approach to addressing difficult issues has transformed my ability to bring them up. It allows what needs to be said to be said when it can be said to its best effect.
And it has the benefit of allowing you to strengthen the relationship at the same time.
The Emotional Validation coach works for me - I just tested it out - if you let me know what's happening for you I'll help me out so you can try it! You are going to LOVE it.
This is so incredibly helpful. Holding space for someone while they grieve can be tough. I love having a framework to help with that process. I love reading your process and thoughts — growing your substack and all! 💙
This is lovely. My sister has been grieving a broken marriage, and I know I am the only person who gives her any kind of loving support. She withholds a lot, but when she does call, I drop everything to listen as long as she likes. This is very useful information you are providing, Jason. Thank you for your work.
This is the right thing to share openly on Substack. Great work, and thank you for doing so. I am sure people will look to you when they find themselves in this situation.
