<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Sharon Strand Ellison, M.S. and Ami Atkinson Combs, B.C.C. are dedicated to the belief that we can change the way we communicate with with simple, mindful shifts, and a non-defensive power approach. Sharon first discusses how she came to see the power struggle as an illness, and backs up the scientific research that it is also one of our top addictions. She and Ami explain how non-defensive power can help us create a neutral space and welcome a conversation rather than feeling like we have to make someone else see our point of view to “win”. Sharon and Ami go further into detail about surrender, creating honest limits rather than harsh boundaries, and how we can build security and trust with our tone and inflection. Dr. Carly also talks with Sharon about her book, <em>Taking the War Out of Our Words</em> and Ami’s co-authored audiobook, <em>Taking Power Struggle Out of Parenting</em>.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Today's episode is sponsored by:</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">RAD Roller: <a href= "http://radroller.refr.cc/healinggroundmovemen"><span class= "s3">http://radroller.refr.cc/healinggroundmovemen</span></a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">J</span><span class="s2">oin the Movement!</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s3"><a href= "http://www.healinggroundmovement.com/">Healinggroundmovement.com</a></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s3"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/healinggroundmovement/">Healing Ground Movement on Instagram</a></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s3"><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/hgmovementpod">Healing Ground Movement on Facebook</a></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s3"><a href= "https://www.pinterest.com/healinggroundmovement">Healing Ground Movement on Pinterest</a></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s3"><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/company/healing-ground-movement">Healing Ground Movement on LinkedIn</a></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s3"><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdylKBZv0zYsOvGSBlCqBzw">Healing Ground Movement on YouTube</a></span></p> <p class="p5"><span class="s5">Like what you learned? <a href= "https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=SEB6Q5HS8W4DY"><span class="s6"> Donate</span></a> to show your appreciation!</span></p> <p class="p5"><span class="s5">Mentioned in This Episode:</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s3"><a href= "https://www.pndc.com/about/">PNDC</a></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s3"><a href= "https://www.pndc.com/products/"><em>Taking the War Out of Our Words</em></a></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s3"><a href= "https://www.pndc.com/products/"><em>Taking Power Struggle Out of Parenting</em></a></span></p> <p class="p7"><span class="s3"><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Way-Joy-Vicki-Dello-Joio/dp/0982051891"><em> The Way of Joy</em></a></span></p>
