Being real...

Never apologize for saying what you feel.
That’s like saying sorry for being real.

I took some group relationship courses with therapist Joel Brass, and wow - I learned a LOT! Joel teaches very healthy and effective communication skills. We had to practice “addressing” conflict one-on-one, which was very intimidating. Initially, I was resistant to the idea, but other brave souls in the room were willing to begin the uncomfortable conversation. In the end, it was comforting to be heard and to understand where the other person was coming from. I learned that if we each explain the experience we’re having and how we’re feeling, it’s not so scary and judgy. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
