Welcome to Part IV of Grace Space! Today Heather is talking about Constructive Language vs. Destructive Language. Grace is communicating constructively while shame is destructive. Learn how to communicate effectively so others hear constructive talk, how to promote healthy self-talk when negative noise tries to cloud our clarity, and how to start healing from the destructive voices from the past.
