Episode notes
Creating Safe Communication Space
- Ensure your partner has the space to communicate by asking if they can talk.
- Avoid starting with "Hey, can we talk?" as it puts people on the defensive.
Effective Communication Techniques
- Start with validation, then express how the situation affects you using "I" statements.
- Explain what your partner can do to make you feel better.
The "Reveal" Technique
- Instead of asking "What are we?", reveal your own stance in the relationship.
- This empowers you and prevents self-abandonment based on their response.
