Just Remind Me? Moving Beyond Blame

December 5 @ 10:00 - 12:45

£30.00

Course Introduction

Want to refresh some of the key ideas from TC1?

This workshop is designed for people who have previously completed a Bridge Builders Transforming Conflict 1/Transforming Church Conflict course. It’s one of a series called Just Remind Me?, offering opportunities to refresh and build on some of the key ideas from the foundation course and embed those ideas in our practice and local context.

Build on the foundation

Blaming others when things go wrong or when we feel uncomfortable is all too easy.  It pushes responsibility away – at least for a short time; but blame does little to address the real issues in a relationship or provide constructive ways to learn from what has gone wrong.

Drawing on insights from family systems, and communication skills, this short workshop will be an opportunity to reflect on the emotional processes behind blame, and why we so easily get caught up in the “web of blame”. We’ll explore how seeking to understand contribution rather than blame can lead to future focussed conversations which can help us move beyond blame – whether we are the blamed or the blamer.

Book for this workshop if you found you wish to develop your understanding of emotional processes and expand your communication skills in enabling potentially difficult conversations.
