Aya Caspi delves into the impact of societal structures and parenting approaches on individuals, particularly the prevalence of extrinsic motivation rooted in fear of punishment, desire for rewards, and a sense of obligation.

Embracing Jackal Thoughts

Ask the Trainer Hello Trainer, If all jackals are thoughts, are all thoughts jackals? In trainings I say our jackals are thoughts and now I've come to wonder if all thoughts are jackals.

Addressing Inequalities in Groups Using NVC

Near the end of a two-day workshop I facilitated, a white man who had not spoken within the group yet shared that he often finds it difficult to speak up in group settings. A transgender man from the Global Majority* - who had spoken up frequently over the two days - reacted with pronounced irritation. In that moment, the Global Majority man heard the messages from his past being reinforced....
