Video of the Week: The Hardest Skill in Conflict — And the Most Powerful (23:15)
What if defending yourself only makes things worse?
In this video, Adam Holman and I introduce the Disarming Technique—the first in our mini-series on the Five Secrets of Effective Communication. Learning this technique had a profound impact on my life, and it can do the same for you if you’re open and hungry for some profound interpersonal and spiritual growth!
This isn’t about surrender or being passive. It’s about the “Great Death” of your ego, and the miracle of seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. Responding with warmth and vulnerability when you’re feeling put down is one of the hardest skills to learn—and one of the most healing.
Few of us were taught to communicate this way. But for those who practice and learn, the emotional rewards can be deep—and even life-changing. This is truly about the road less travelled!
