The theme this week is "Own Your Experience".
This is another agreement we use in our Authentic Relating Games container.
It can often feel vulnerable to own our experience with our language and make it as personal as possible. It can feel like calling ourselves out and feeling emotionally naked.
It can feel safer to generalize by using "you" statements, and applying your own experience as if it's a universal truth for people at large, not realizing that you're speaking to something deeply personal in yourself.
We can also use projected "you" statements to blame others, saying "you" hurt me, "you" are being manipulative, "you" are being inauthentic - which puts us in the place of the powerless victim when we don't own our experience in this way, when instead, we can use owned "I" statements to take more ownership and empowerment over our experience, such as - "I feel scared when I hear you say that, because I create a story in my head that I'm being misinterpreted, and that you don't care to connect with me. I'm wondering if that's true for you?"
This is deeply owned and personal language that is very conducive to vulnerability and authentic connection, and this is the skill we will be inviting you to step into, try on, and cultivate at this up-coming AR Games night!
I'm thrilled to step into deeper connection and authenticity through play and guided games with you all! 💖
