Episode notes
What ‘Human-Sized’ Means
- Human-sized means being exactly yourself with nothing to prove or lose.
- Getting bigger or smaller are protective survival moves that disconnect you from others and God.
Differentiate Desire From Demand
- Advocate for deep relational needs but avoid demanding them as a nonnegotiable requirement.
- Hold your desire and your fear in different hands and come open-handed to God about them.
Debrief After Regulation
- Wait until everyone is regulated before debriefing conflicts with children or family.
- Debrief from a human-sized place to speak on behalf of what triggered you, not from the trigger itself.
