How To Effectively Break Communication Barriers In Your Relationship with Melanie Curtin

Did you ever feel neglected or dropped? Yet the conversation ends up with your partner on the defense instead of making amends? Was there a time your partner did something that made you feel important and loved? Too bad, it turned out to be a one-time thing? Does it feel like a hit or miss trying to delight your partner? Do you often think that he/she doesn’t get you? Did you ever feel you could've handled it better? It all boils down to how the conversation went, what you said, and what you didn't. Often, couples lack emotional dialogues because that isn't the way it was modeled inside families. In most homes, things were just "swept under the rug." Over the years, communities have evolved from close-knit tribes more akin to families to a disconnected society. The advanced tools available to us today offer sophistication that allows for independence and these are the same tools that trap us in isolation, leaving us impaired when it comes to communicating with vulnerability. How can relationships survive the isolation trap? Can couples unlearn what they know and figure out a better structure that works for them? Listen to this episode and get tips on how you can reframe your lines. Be ready to whip up an awesome conversation with your partner tonight!
