In this episode, the second in a series of three on the topic of Authentic Relating, we continue to learn by playing. Yes, playing. Our guest Gabe DeRita leads your host Lisa D through Authentic Relating games, or exercises. Listen in as an entirely new way of relating (to your host) is exposed. Trigger warning: This gets a bit intimate for some.

Some of what you'll hear between Gabe and Lisa includes; naming what's present in connection, noticing what's emerging in the moment, questioning assumptions, revealing emotional states and taking ownership of one's own experience.

As a reminder the 5 practices of "AR":

  • Welcome Everything
  • Assume Nothing
  • Reveal Your Experience
  • Own Your Experience
  • Honor YourSelf and Other

The 'Noticing Game' stems:
Being here with you I notice...
Hearing that I notice/feel...

What's going on for you, what you imagine is going on for other, what's happening in the shared space.

A slightly edgier version invites us to get better at noticing, naming and dropping assumptions as they arise.
