Letter to Friend

Something cracked open in my seeing/awareness when you gave me feedback regarding your experience with non-violent communication and how it’s a tool to listen more deeply to that person who is pushing our buttons. For an instant I saw the person in my story differently. Thank you.

Our phone conversation opened up new emotional territory in me. I was surprised by my swearing and the tears that came up. I must have felt safe with you. Thank you for listening to my deep feelings of pain around this story and offering support in return.

Thank you for opening up and feeling safe within yourself…and with me…otherwise this circulation of words and feelings could not happen.
