parker palmer: The phrase safe space is used as a counterfeit for what you're describing. In our kind of safe space, we don't guarantee that you won't hear anything upsetting, he says. What we guarantee is that you will be at complete liberty to express that which is most vulnerable in you without fear of critique or putdown and marginalization.
Have you ever had someone come to you with a dilemma, but when you start to share your advice, they resist your every suggestion? The relationship gets more strained. You leave feeling frustrated, but when you open up you immediately get advice and feel more alone and more confused than you were before. For this episode, I have invited one of my heroes, Parker J. Palmer, to share a story or two, some of the things he has learned over decades and some actionable advice. By the end of this episode, you will be better able to help people unravel their confusion and find the right way forward.
