Effective Communication (Hybrid)

How can we speak without harming others – without judging, bullying, blaming, or refusing to listen? Join us as we practice the skills of Nonviolent Communication, as developed by psychologist Dr. Marshall Rosenberg. This course combines practices of mindfulness with the principles of Nonviolent Communication and explores how adding mindfulness to the process of communicating with others can allow us to tune into our bodies, even in the midst of difficult conversations. Come and learn, through experiential exercises, tools that lead to less reactivity, and to a greater capacity for expressing our own needs and hearing the needs of others.

*The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (TBHEC) has stopped pre-certifying ANY Continuing Education or Professional Development for mental health providers.  The Jung Center cannot guarantee that the programs we provide will qualify for continuing education or Professional Development, nor can any other agency.  The Jung Center uses high educational standards when selecting to designate events as "potentially appropriate for CEs", and in evaluating the outcomes of our educational services, and we believe them to meet the requirements of state licensing bodies.  To find out more about the TBHEC changes to Continuing Education and Professional Development, click here.
