With CoVid, protests that have turned violent, and political/societal unrest it seems it would be a good time to focus on how we communicate with one another and improve how we deal with conflict. There are certain forces in society that would have us remain divided and against each other. There is a higher and better way and that begins with coming back to the basics – we are all created by One Creator. We need to learn how to get along with one another better. From my view the answer is found in coming back to basic foundational values with how we treat one another with honor and respect, and this begins with being centered in Spiritual values. I am a Christian and this is where I draw upon my values that sustains me through the promise of a better future and strength in getting through adversity. As a psychologist I also apply Spiritual principles as to how we can better communicate and deal with conflict with one another. These are the types of things that I teach people whether it be couples, families, groups, or organizations. If we apply these skills at a societal level and seek areas upon which we can agree upon instead of areas that divide us we can counteract the attempt to divide and destroy us. Instead, together, let us work toward ending division and working together toward positive solutions. http://emapdrschulz.com
