In this episode I interview Allyson Blythe on non-violent communication and how it relates to IFS.  Allyson is a certified life coach and licensed clinical social worker.  She has over 30 years of experience with educating, equipping, and empowering her clients by building success from the inside out digging deep into their longstanding patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that no longer serve them. Allyson is the author of the books, "Misunderstood: Rewriting the Rules of Dignity and Self-Respect" and "The Enlightened Empath".  Allyson is trained in non-violent communication and offers the course called, The Art of Effective Communication.

Topics covered in this episode include:

1. A discussion of Allyson's doer parts and inviting spaciousness to invite rest and being

2. What is NVC? (Non-violent communication)

3. The three steps of NVC

4. There are no bad feelings

5. Power of curiosity and compassion to change behavior

6. Fun and creative ways to connect with parts

7. Mindful Matters program, and retreat on boundaries
