Do you ever wonder what abilities you have with communicating that go beyond words? We have a special story to share in this week’s episode.
Join Sarah Grandinetti and our wonderful guest, Mary Case, for an exploration into possibilities beyond words.
Mary shares a beautiful story about her patient Serena. Serena is a non-verbal, autistic young adult, who for years struggled with communicating. Traditional therapy never worked for her. While Mary was only an elementary music teacher when they met, she was such an invitation to Serena that Serena progressed beyond what years of traditional treatment never offered.
How could this be possible? Mary had a willingness to meet Serena where she was and communicate with her in the way she required. And, by doing this she created results that past caretakers and therapists couldn’t get to.
While this podcast episode shares a story about this particular case, there is so much that we can get as inspiration and awareness for our day to day life.
What abilities do you have with communicating that are a gift to the whole planet?
Take aways:
- There is no incongruence in non verbal communication. Ask to also have that when you have verbal communication.
- If you want to be better at non verbal communication, you have to stop doubting everywhere you are already having it. Acknowledge every moment you communicate beyond words.
- If you are trying to communicate with someone that is non verbal, give up your point of view that they have to communicate more like you. Meet them where they are at.
