Sarah Peyton, Certified Trainer of Nonviolent Communication, teaches people how language changes relationship and the brain. She works with audiences internationally to create a compassionate understanding of the effects of relational trauma on the brain, and writes about and teaches people how words change and heal us.
Her special interest is the way that difficult events impact our automatic brain patterning, and how to transform our tendencies toward self-criticism into self-warmth. Her first book,“Your Resonant Self: Guided Meditations and Exercises to Engage Your Brain’s Capacity for Healing,” is coming out from Norton Publishing.

This course is your first step.
This was a really awesome interview. i think that the work of Marshall rosenberg is overlooked in the world of clinical psychology.
the story told by Sarah, about going back to talk with a younger part reminded me of matrix reimprinting where you do eft/tapping on a younger part. I guess you can do all kinds of therapy on younger parts in the matrix like that. I love how she described it as the crystalline quality of the traumatic memory.
