S2E11 Harmony in Relationships: VULNERABILITY, Part 1

S2E7 Harmony in Relationships: COMMUNICATION, Part 1

Lack of communication is the “king” reason many couples enter therapy. But what does Communication mean? Is it when your partner doesn’t agree with you, is it when you feel they do not understand what you are talking about or is it when their response to your sharing always circles back to themselves and you are left out in the cold? We are often told that Communication involves give-and-take. However, most humans tend to have exceptional expertise in how to “give”, meaning talk, talk, and talk, and are quite clueless in how to “take”, to listen. Let’s “listen” to what this episode has instore about the art of talking and listening.
