That's new to me! I always hear, avoid triangles. And, yes, you really can't.

"Differences in people are magnified" : can that be explained?

Amazing question, Pr. Jessica.

challenges of listening in our primary virtual relationship with people right now.

Also, that is so hard when a particular point of view seems dangerous or troubling (ie-Qanon, etc)

I wonder how to harness or create the connective potential of anxiety? Something to do with externalizing the threat? Or duration of the cause of anxiety? For the first two weeks of Covid it was like we were "all in this together" akin to sandbagging for a flood, etc. But after a while, folks were turned against each other in our response and the solutions.

This is a plug for Coaching Training - transferrable skills for use in day to day leadership, asking good questions, thinking of them more naturally, maintaining that role. Let me know if you're interested in becoming a trained Coach :)

Thank you MaryAnn. This has been most helpful!

We do have permission to post the recording of today. I will also inquire about the powerpoint slides.

how will we access the recording? Thank you

It will be on the website.

I will post the recording on our website under Events - Recordings

Thank you, MaryAnn for this discussion and for your way of connecting anxiety with our experiences of the past year.

Sorry - it's under Resources

the very tools (personal contact, singing, communal-in-person prayer,) that we have used to navigate "threats" (economic, political, existential,) are themselves contributor to the threat... which seems to cause tremendous interpersonal, and intrapersonal conflict/anxiety

I wonder if it's more likely that female pastors are more willing to disclose to another female pastor. Is being attacked by parishioners seen as a weakness?

Shar, that's a good point. And seeking resources/help.

Thank you!

Thank you for this!

Thank you! It lowers anxiety just to name it.
