Do you struggle in your conversations with others? Do you wish you could improve with your skills in communication? Sometimes we just need some quick and simple basic skills to help be effective with other people. In this episode, you will hear some basic Interpersonal Effectiveness skills taken from DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). This is a curriculum that was developed by Marsha Linehan. Many people have remastered these skills and people do these groups all over the world. They are structured and to the point of teaching skills, not diving into healing trauma. Normally my podcasts talk about trauma, but this episode is simply about skills.  

“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen”. ~Ephesians 4:29 

“May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer”. ~Psalms 19:14
