A special contribution of Protecting the Diamond is that it looks at the above concepts and skills from two different perspectives, which will be referred to as the way of the injured self and the way of the nurtured self.  The way of the injured self is based on fear and insecurity and creates distance in relationship.  The way of the nurtured self is based on love and self-confidence and creates closeness in relationship.

 


A Note of Recognition  –  The concepts of “I-Messages” and “You-Messages” and “Active Listening” mentioned on this CD come from Dr. Thomas Gordon’s book, Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.).
