How to Talk to Your Partner: The Vent Sesh That Fixes Communication (Coffee Walk MD)

Want better conversations with your partner? Start by clearing what's in the way. Dr. Brittany Bankhead and Dr. Brian Kendall walk through three of their go-to talking points: "What's on your mind?", "vent sesh", and "current events". They also explain why the first two often unlock topics unlock deeper conversations. Key topics "What's on your mind?" Going past "work is fine, work is busy" to what you're really thinking about on your commute or the second you wake up. The vent sesh (a fan favorite). Say "all right, vent sesh" and get it off your chest, no matter how small or silly it feels. Current events, their way. Brian brings space and constituents; Brittany brings Bravo TV. They keep each other relevant. Why venting helps connection. The thing replaying in your head can block better conversation. Once it's out, new conversations open up.
