The Power of the Pause

The power of pausing in communication will transform your conversations, particularly in challenging situations like addiction and recovery. Pausing allows for a thoughtful response instead of a reactive one, leading to more aligned and kind behaviour. It promotes active listening, and reduces miscommunication and contributes to building trust and self-regulation. It is so important to not only use the right words in a conversation, but equally knowing when to not have a conversation and the value of silence.
