Keeping communication open and honest whilst relying on principles of self care and respect for others can feel tricky sometimes. We have to manage emotions, make sure we don't bring in baggage from the past and watch our intent. We don't always get it right!
I am currently writing assertiveness workshops to run in Bristol and Bath and start with the first one on 12.3 at Yanley court long Ashton. Also will be producing positive relationships workshops. If anyone is interested in any of this please get in touch sarah.mariposacoaching@gmail.com.
