Have you ever had a well-meaning conversation with a spouse, friend, child, or co-worker that went sideways? What if we could help ourselves prepare for some of our most important conversations?

Our resident psychologist expert, Dr. Jen Dragonette, is back with us to explore the nuances of communication in relationships, particularly focusing on the importance of language and emotional dynamics. We cover the impact of phrases like 'yes, but' versus 'yes, and' and how these can shape interactions.

Our conversation emphasizes the need for preparation before difficult discussions, the use of interpersonal effectiveness skills like the DEAR MAN technique, and the significance of regular check-ins to foster connection. We also highlight the importance of reinforcing positive communication patterns and enjoying the journey of growth in relationships.
