This episode, "Compassionate Curiosity," features Kathy Steele, famed co-author of The Haunted Self, advocating for a collaborative therapeutic model in resolving severe traumatization, in which attachment phobias are addressed by giving the client (perhaps "gifting" the client) responsibility in treatment. In this manner, the client begins to experience authentic relationship, rather than the therapist supporting maladaptive coping by becoming either a rescuer or an expert (or both). Ms. Steele is a Past President and Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD), and has also served two terms on the Board of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS). She has received a number of awards for her work, including the Lifetime Achievement Award from ISSTD, an Emory University Distinguished Alumni Award, and the Cornelia B. Wilbur Award for Outstanding Clinical Contributions from ISSTD. Publications include The Haunted Self (co-author), Treating Trauma-Related Dissociation (first author), and many book chapters. Highlights include: -How therapists facilitate dependency by reinforcing attachment phobias-Polyvagal theory and the collaborative approach -The wisdom of prioritizing relationship over knowing "what's going on"-The importance of the client having a persistent "felt sense" of the therapeutic relationship, rather than having unlimited therapist availability and poor boundaries -Curiosity as a tool for making resistance and relationship rupture the most important moments in treatment-Sharing confusion with the client about treatment direction, to drive collaborative treatment an activate the client's exploration system -Psychoeducational discussion as an underrated toolLook for Ms. Steele's online trainings, resources, books, and consultation groups at kathy-steele.com. In future (as in past) episodes, guests will offer counterpoints to Ms. Steele's views, and this video is a dialogue, rather than an endorsement of her perspective. Likewise, The Dissociative Table does not endorse the views of its hosts, nor do any professional organizations to which the hosts might belong.

In episode 9 on the "C" series of Compassionate Curiosity, I explain how to bring your Sage into group meetings. Imagine there are nine of you in a meeting and need to make an important decision and all of you brought your Judge and chief saboteur. What a disaster! Now, reimagine the scenario in which you all arrive in Sage gear. Members each get a say, and by playing the Sage game of "Yes, And" and employing the 90/10 principle, each person gets to express an idea, going around the room. Sage #1 offers an idea, 90% of which may be bad! But Sage #2 finds 10% of it to like and expresses that AND offers up idea #2. And on it goes until there are nine sage ideas to work with. Groups of humans are interlocking ecosystems, and when the system is healthy all thrive, but if even one part isn't, the system doesn't work. It's like that with trees, whose roots "talk" to each other and work together for the good of all the trees in the group. I quote the German forester Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees, who explains that trees are sentient and behave in humanistic ways with parent trees taking care of their saplings and each other.  And I tie this to the ancient Chinese text Tao te Ching, where Verse 39 expresses the value of oneness. Peter Wohlleben, The Hidden Life of Trees, Greystone Books, 2016.https://www.peterwohllebenbooks.com/Support the Show.Want to learn how to build your ©PQ?

In this episode of Emotional Intelligence: Your Greatest Asset and Key to Success, I define compassionate curiosity and explain how this is the Sage path--the one of self-love, the Divine inner Self that loves us no matter what. I talk about how we often screw up and listen to the Judge's negative chatter that leads to us beating ourselves up. I then explain that doing PQ reps to stop the Judge in its tracks and choosing the Sage path is ultimately what serves us and others. We may have acted in ways we regret, but we are perfectly imperfect human beings. We can imagine ourselves as a young, innocent child and as we show compassion and empathy toward them, we can learn to deliver that same compassion and empathy to our current selves as well as to others. Further, we can don the hat of a curious anthropologist who is observing--without judgement--behaviors and attitudes to see what might be going on underneath the surface: a trigger? Bad mood? Hangry? By choosing the Sage path we weaken the Judge's path and truly become free. Support the Show.Want to learn how to build your ©PQ?

Today, church planter and worship leader Evan Whickman joins us from Park Hill Church in sunny San Diego. In this conversation, Jason and Evan explore various themes, starting with Evan's personal journey of deconstructing and reconstructing his faith in Jesus, and the environments that helped him along the way. Together, they also unpack the concept of "Compassionate and Courageous Orthodoxy," and in it, the delicate balance of standing firm on core Christian truths while creating environments for open and honest conversations. Evan shares profound insights on engaging in meaningful dialogue with those who hold different perspectives, while both tackling challenging questions and maintaining a genuine curiosity toward those in the conversation. Throughout the interview, Evan exudes faith and courage while staying grounded in the complexities of pastoring in this moment. We hope you enjoy our conversation with him.  Bio | Evan Wickham is a worship leader, songwriter, speaker, and lead pastor of Park Hill Church in San Diego, CA, which he co-founded in 2017 with Sandy, his wife of 23 years (and their five kids). In addition to teaching and curating worship experiences in various communities, he has released four albums of worship songs in order to resource the broader body of Christ. He holds an MDiv from Western Seminary in Portland, OR and helped launch Searock Sessions, a cohort and growing community for hundreds of leaders seeking renewal in the Western church. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give⁠⁠⁠ today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to CCLN and help seed a hopeful future for the Church in Canada.

Learning how to listen is the cornerstone of effective and transformative communication. In the hustle and fast paced daily activities of the coffee shop, it is easy to forget about listening and truly understanding what is being said beyond the words we hear. Add to this that emotions are often high, listening deeply and well can seem daunting. Thankfully we have a guest on the show today who is a listening expert and has built incredible resources to help show use exactly how to listen! Oscar Trimboli is an author, host of the Apple award-winning podcast Deep Listening and a sought-after keynote speaker. His third book is how to listen – discover the hidden key to better communication – the most comprehensive book about listening in the workplace. Along with the Deep Listening Ambassador Community, he is on a quest to create 100 million deep listeners in the workplace. Through his work with chairs, boards of directors, and executive teams, Oscar has experienced first-hand the transformational impact leaders can have when they listen beyond words. In this conversation we dig deep into the principles of listening, especially when emotions cloud our mind. Through deeply personal examples, role playing scenarios, and impactful insight, Oscar lays out a master class in listening here on his second appearance on KTTS. Enjoy!

COMPASSIONATE CURIOSITY is a delightful episode with Jeanine Mouchawar. A Stanford University graduate, Jeanine works as a certified professional life coach for parents of teenagers. She helps make parenting easier by teaching new communication strategies and a 5-step communication process that stop the battles and create a calm, peaceful home. Parents learn how to teach their teens cooperation, responsibility, and critical life skills to empower them for success. In the process, they create the positive, meaningful relationship they always imagined. One of her own sons was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age and I am excited to dive in and talk with Jeanine about how she and her family dealt with this diagnosis and how she embarked on her life's purpose during that time.

Community is an incredibly important part of our industry. In fact it is the number one thing cited by professionals as the main reason they love coffee. Unifying around a common love is so powerful and helps us all become better...or does it?  On today's Shift Break we will be talking about how community can often be a way to avoid difficult parts of working together and keep things at a perpetually shallow level of enthusiasm and keep us from making real progress both professionally and industry-wide.  Related episodes: 055 : Personal Growth & Development w/ Jared Truby, Cat & Cloud Coffee 125 : Confidence in Conflict w/ Kwame Christian : A framework for Compassionate Curiosity 165 : The Art of Deep Listening w/ Oscar Trimboli SB: Don't Force Vulnerability SB: The Agreement Visit our Sponsors!!!

On New Year's Day, we had a "combined service": we used the Celtic liturgy from the early service and added a beautiful song by Ray Funk during communion followed by a short homily by Walter Thiessen in which he invited us to consider "compassionate curiosity" as a phrase for the year. The post Compassionate Curiosity – An Invitation appeared first on St. Croix Church.

There is always a general sense of anxiety present when it comes to running a coffeehouse. Part of the reason for that is that problems are always popping up and we need to then deal with them. The other reason for why this anxiety seems perpetual has to do with the fact that for most operators, problems are not specific enough to do anything about.  On today's Shift break we will be exploring how digging into the problems you experience and making them more specific, will give you a far great chance of finding peace of mind and solutions amidst the challenges of running a cafe.  Related episodes: Slowing down your Response Time The Miracle of the Mundane: How curiosity helps our sustainability 125 : Confidence in Conflict w/ Kwame Christian : A framework for Compassionate Curiosity 052 : Solving Coworker Conflict w/ Tom Henschel 165 : The Art of Deep Listening w/ Oscar Trimboli Visit these amazing sponsors!

This podcast is focused on Self-Knowledge and how to understand ourselves better. Self-knowledge is essential in life, because aspects of our personality that we are unconscious about has more influence on quality and direction of our life. This is reflected in a quote from C.G. Jung which reads, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Knowing yourself is not about understanding who are now, but rather realizing how you became who you are, and why? Or saying it differently, knowing yourself is not about understanding your personality type, or knowing what or who you like or dislike. It is rather about knowing whether your personality reflects who you truly are, and knowing why you like or dislike certain things or certain individuals.  This podcast covers the following topics:- Understanding how we became who we are.- How to use Compassionate Curiosity to know yourself better?- How to invite Self-Reflection to get to know yourself? The key takeaway in this podcast is for you to realize that knowing yourself is not about how you'd feel about different things, think in certain way, or believe in something, but rather to realize exactly why you feel this way, think that way, or believe in what you believe. Knowing yourself is not about noticing what is currently present in you, but understanding why it is there, and how you can help it transform. Your inner peace and clarity will emerge naturally following this understanding.This podcast is produced by Aion Farvahar, who is a Life and Spirituality Mentor, and a Psychoshamanic and IFS Self-Leadership Practitioner.

Working in customer a customer facing environment like a coffee shop means that we get to serve and experience all different types of people in the course fo the day. While so many of our interaction are within the expected range of emotions, there are times where things get pretty tense and situations escalate past where we are comfortable.  What do we do when confronted with these circumstances? Are we prepared for and confident in deescalation? Sadly we often fail in this area which means bad situations often get worse leaving staff and customers feeling demoralized and without much hope for resolution.  This is a really important topic and To help us learn how to approach deescalation and make it a real process in our shops we are talking to Melissa Tucker or Mind Over Matters and Pathways to Peace.  Melissa graduated with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from University of Hawaii Hilo, in August 2015.
