PERHAPS IT”S TIME TO STOP FIGHTING AND START LISTENING.
Not listening in order to convince others that we’re right and they are wrong, but listening to understand, listening to empathize.
Perhaps its time to remember that our humanity unites us all. We may have conflicting beliefs and strong feelings, but underneath all this we are all human beings.
Sadly we seem to have lost touch with our humanity and that happens when we’re scared.
So how about making a genuine attempt to listen to and understand each other’s fears? and our own fears?
This will not necessarily work in every case, but a lifetime of experience leads me to believe that it’s a move in the right direction.

Donald Marmara created Core Development , a learning process which acknowledges the unity and inter-relationships of mind, body, emotions and spirit.
It draws on the principles and understanding of somatic psychotherapy, structural dynamics, and Donald’s own personal therapy, professional training and life experience.
Core development adopts a flexible approach, recognising that what works for one person may not work for another.
Donald currently resides and practices in Sydney, and is available for individual sessions, couples sessions, counselling teenagers and parents, and facilitating training programs and workshops. He is also available for Zoom and phone sessions worldwide.
