Episode notes
Communication Creates Shared Understanding
- Communication is about co-creating a shared mental model, not just talking and listening.
- Listening involves the whole person, including body language and emotions, not only hearing words.
Relationship as a Third Entity
- Relationships should be sponsored by the number three, where the dynamic itself is a separate third entity.
- This approach avoids blame between two people and focuses on the relationship's health.
Use a Box to Represent Relationship
- Put a large, physical box in your living room representing the relationship.
- When issues arise, place them in the box to address problems with the relationship, not each other.
