Conversation Reimagined Episode 21: Interview with Kim

Episode #21 – Conversation Imagined: Important Underlying Impacts

“Connection. Maslow overlooked the most important human need – more important than food or shelter. Being together is the most important aspect to health and thriving. It is only through others that we co-regulate our nervous system. Feeling anxious or stressed? The best way to calm is through connection with another. Today, Dr. Andrea reimagines conversation with Canadian kindred spirit and soul sister Kim Barthel. Together they provide insights into the underlying impacts of how conversation goes wrong and share tips for reimagining and recreating positive conversations, no matter how broken they may seem. Conversations heal - they calm our nervous system. In safe conversations our brains literally sync with one another, and brain-to-brain connection, you might call it telepathy - actually happens!” - Conversations Reimagined - Dr. Andrea
