A Return to Civility and a Path to Get There

by David Medeiros

Overview

We, as a nation, are experiencing one of the most openly divisive times in our country's history. How did we get here, why are we languishing here, and what can we, as individuals, do about it? More than you think.

Through self-reflection and a recommitment to a sense of responsibility we can, on an individual and collective level, get back on a path towards civility. Some of the paths described in this book may surprise you, and one of them, the Internal Family Systems Model, can provide a clear, practical, and elegant framework that we can apply to ourselves and our actions, and improve the way we relate to and acknowledge the dignity and humanity of others.
