Soul Statements: A Love-Filled Tool for Creating Healthy Communication and Deeper Intimacy

Do you feel like your partner doesn't hear you? Is communication a major stumbling block in your intimate relationships? From Dr. Carla’s experience and loads of research, she has found that communication struggles cause tremendous (and unnecessary) disconnection and hurtful ruptures. Could a few minor shifts help you create the healthy communication and emotional connection you crave and deserve? You bet! By harnessing the power of mindfulness and neurolinguistics, powerful change is on the way! You have the power to shift your relationships by creating greater self-awareness, self-love, and healthy communication habits. 


Join Dr. Carla and NLP (neurolinguistic programming) practitioner Corey Lyon Folsom for a powerful exploration into the art of claiming your personal power, honing your communication skills, and shifting your relationships for the better. Author of the powerful book "Soul Statements," Corey notes, "Soul Statements are a direct and immediate tool to counter unhelpful thoughts and self-sabotage. They are a way to claim your personal power and 'revolve around your own axis.' Soul Statements deepen intimacy by up-leveling communication." 


Topics discussed include NLP (neurolinguistic programming), conflict, self-sabotage, personal power, soul statements, meditation, nature, self-awareness, self-love, self-care, self-regulation, parasympathetic nervous system, stillness, safe space, inner calm, relationships, relationship coach, bullying, abuse, time-outs, communication, self-development, self-growth, reactivity, gaslighting, stonewalling, helplessness, distress, negative thoughts, feelings, mindfulness, emotions, self-talk, self-communication, spirit vow, empathy, courage, self-acceptance, self-sourced, and emotional intimacy.
