“Connected Conversation Process” – instructional video (13 mins)
Here Ali Miller (www.alimillermft.com) and I portray a couple, Debbie and Jason, who have a mildly contentious conversation. They then try using the “Connected Conversation Process" (CCP), the foundational process of the Communication Dojo, to navigate through their conflict with greater mutual understanding and connection. We're portraying Debbie and Jason as being new to this work. They have lots of history of arguing in ways that are not very effective! Our hope is to show that they can make some headway immediately, even with just a little knowledge of the CCP.
