7. The impact of using labels in your communication

Labels are one of the most disconnecting language devices in our communication. It’s important to watch out for them if you want to build true connection in your interactions.

Today, I want to raise your awareness of the presence of labels in your own life.

Some labels are vocalized, while others are felt even if no words are spoken. Either way, they could be dangerous.

Even labels that sound positive could be disconnecting, not just the negative ones.

We need to remove both the labels we have learned to give others and the ones we use for ourselves.

Takeaways from this episode:

• Labels that are internalized can have a lifelong impact on us.
• I share an exercise to begin to see where you use labels.
• Notice how labels increase or decrease your sense of connection.
