Heal your relationships as you heal yourself. Tested and proven in a prison environment, Crossing the Bridge helps you to:
- Listen in a way that builds rapport
- Express yourself authentically in a way the other person can hear
- Steer tough moments toward understanding and resolution
Coming from a violent childhood home, Trime Persinger struggled to connect with others and to find her own voice. Learning how to communicate differently changed every aspect of her life. When she became a prison chaplain, she developed and taught a training program for inmates that helped them experience similar transformations.
Here is what she learned, and what you will learn too:
- The way we feel is based on the stories we tell ourselves.
- When we start to unpack our stories, everything makes more sense
- We don't have to give up our autonomy to get along with others
Of central importance is being gentle with yourself as you develop your skills and your inner compass. You become stronger and more resilient. Your gentleness and your strength together forge an unbeatable combination.
