Everything we do begins with a thought. And, as flawed human beings, it’s possible that our thoughts don’t represent a perfect picture of the reality in front of us. Sometimes, when we let biases or cognitive distortions cloud our judgment, we create undue stress on our relationships. Luckily, according to this week’s guest Kirsten Larsen, we’re capable of observing our own brains and taking deliberate steps toward communicating better, both in our personal and professional lives.
Kirsten Larsen has helped people work through the lowest of imaginable lows as an inpatient psychiatrist. After experiencing a depth of human connection that few will see in their lifetime, she decided to found her mental wellness coaching firm, Peace of Wellness. Now, Kirsten is dedicated to helping individuals and teams develop communication skills and emotional well-being. In honor of Valentine’s Day, listen extra close as she gives her insight on building effective, happy, communicative relationships!
