Avoid the Backstory

We had an amazing first circle last Sunday at Williamsburg’s human@ease. One tool we explored was, (and you can use this in your relationships), when angry, you don’t have to discuss any of the content or the reason for the resentment. If you just stay with present moment feelings, avoiding the backstory entirely, breakthroughs arise just through being seen and heard on both sides, saying what it’s like being in connection while angry. What arises - it was fear, excitement, a pull to wrestle or spar, shame, guilt, remorse, regret. Merely exploring these FEELINGS led to mutual understanding, trust, appreciation even joy. It underscores the power of this practice and why I keep coming back to it and want to share it with the world. Thank you to all who attended.
