Conscious Communication is a simple yet elegant set of relationship tools that enable us to stay connected with other people, while recognizing our differences. Instead of establishing new rules to follow, this book offers specific skills that interrupt our rational evaluations and make space for emotional honesty and compassion. As we learn to grow beyond our limited judgments of right and wrong and describe what is true for us in the present moment, we connect with other people in a way that dissolves our isolation and provides a genuine sense of belonging and security.
