Essential Relationship Skills
Learning How to Communicate
Almost nothing is as important in a relationship as knowing how to practice
communication that connects.
You’ve never communicated like this before.
Couples therapists often joke that at some point, every couple that they see will say some version of the following statement at some point in counselling: “We just need help communicating.” It’s probably true for you, too. You probably often feel like you’re trying work something out, you’re making some progress, and then something gets said that derails the whole thing–maybe for hours. It can be incredibly frustrating and discouraging.
The truth is that almost none of us enter a relationship knowing how to communicate in a way that connects.
Think about it this way: The relationship that we have with our partner is unlike any other relationship that we experience. It’s completely unique and incredibly special.
So, the way that we communicate with our partner has to be equally unique and special. It has to look like we’re communicating with our most favourite person in the world and not the barista at the coffee shop or some acquaintance from work.
Trust me, you’ve never communicated like this before.
But we can help you learn how to communicate in ways that can help your relationship flourish.
Our approach is based a few important concepts.
Everything communicates.
Everything you say, everything you don’t say, everything you do, and everything you don’t do….. it all communicates to your partner.
Emotional Intelligence matters.
People don’t fall in love because it makes sense–we connect on the emotional level and we stay connected because we work on our emotional connection. We’ll help ensure that you both understand how you feel and can communicate how you feel.
Edit your approach.
The way that you communicate with your partner has to look different that how you communicate with everyone else in your life. Love isn’t about spreadsheets, about facts, or event about making sense. Emotional conversations take more time, more heart, and more energy. But the results are a long-lasting connection with the person you love.
Connect in powerful new ways.
When you learn to communicate differently, your relationship will change. When you make attempts to be more open about the ways that you feel, when you learn to trust the way that you feel, and when you experience the same from your partner, you’ll connect in truly powerful new ways.
