The Thinking Lab - RCC Practice Session for Members
May 23, 2018
RCC Practice Sessions - for members of the Thinking Lab.
Topic: How to "Suppress Properly," i.e., How to Put Aside Emotions When You Need to Act
I have argued that suppression is only appropriate in true emergencies. I have gotten a lot of pushback on this idea from people who think suppression is essential to avoiding emotionalism.
In this teleclass I will distinguish putting aside emotions from suppressing them. Putting aside emotions may be absolutely critical when you need to act. The OFNR process can be very helpful for putting aside emotions.
RCC (Rationally Connected Conversation) Practice Sessions are one hour calls to discuss how to maintain objectivity, emotional resilience, and trust in conversations with other people, using Rosenberg's OFNR technique and other tools. These will be held via Zoom (video).
