Second Breakfast with Surf With Amigas
Tools to Manage Your Emotions When You Feel Wronged in the Surf
Today's conversation with clinical social worker Karen Lane covers various topics including self-empathy, nonviolent communication, and how surfing can be a medium for understanding ourselves and our communication practices. Karen shares her surfing story and highlights the importance of understanding and meeting our own needs. We chat about various exercises used to explore different ways of thinking about triggering situations. Our reactions can often be compartmentalized into four categories: blaming others, blaming oneself, empathizing with others, and empathizing with oneself. By noticing our thoughts and emotions, we can create positive thought patterns that lead to deeper self-understanding and compassion. Surfing is a great place to start practicing these techniques!
