Communication as the Foundation of Relationships
Communication is one of the foundations of any relationship, but it can be challenging to do it right all the time. Maintaining and strengthening the bond with our loved ones involves saying things that please them and bring us closer together. However, discussing sensitive topics or expressing our needs can be difficult due to the fear of damaging the relationship. Safety plays a crucial role in communication, as we need to feel safe enough to express what we think and feel. Setting a context and being mindful of our intentions can help create a safe environment for open and honest communication.
