Unlocking Interpersonal Harmony: Exploring the SEW Technique

Recorded - 03/17/25

In this podcast episode, we delve into the S.E.W. technique, a method for enhancing interpersonal communication and resolving conflicts, as introduced by Dr. Julia B. Colwell during the Time to Rise Summit. I present a comprehensive overview of this approach, emphasizing its reliance on inarguable truths to foster understanding and mitigate defensiveness in discussions. The S.E.W. technique involves three critical components: Sensations, Emotions, and Wants, each serving to redirect conversations from blame to personal accountability and clarity of needs. By articulating sensations and emotions without casting blame, participants can cultivate a deeper connection and mutual comprehension. We explore not only the steps involved in this technique but also its implications for personal growth and relationship dynamics, advocating for its practical application in everyday interactions.
