THE BIG IDEA
Contingent communication relies upon presence, limbic resonance, and attunement; these all contribute to building TRUST
Our psychobiology is at play in every interaction
Armoring, implicit memory, level 2 interoception, and our reaction under pressure can all interfere with and disrupt communication
To communicate well, you need to be able to take action with language - including those actions that trigger you
Building this capacity requires activating all aspects of your psychobiology while interacting with others

PRINCIPLES FOR PRACTICE
First, strengthen the capacity to feel and to center under pressure
Discover your embodied habits of communication
Through somatic practice and / or conversation
Where do you get thrown off center?
Practice speaking, moving, feeling, and interacting all at once
Build resilience around the speech acts that are hard

REFLECTION / FIELDWORK
Where are the places you and / or your clients are challenged to speak freely and communicate clearly?
Choose one of those.
Design a practice to help yourself or your client build the capacity for greater presence and more clear and contingent communication.
