Episode 275: It All Comes Down To Communication

Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

• Most issues in a family boil down to a communication problem.
• Avoidance, speaking too critically, poor explanation or information, and stonewalling are all common communication issues.
• People who care about you will want to have the “hard conversations” with you because it ultimately serves your relationship.
• We only have control over how we, ourselves communicate. We cannot change how someone else communicates.
• What can you improve in the way you communicate?
• Be aware of how you feel physically when you are worked up and pause if you feel like you will lash out or communicate poorly.
• Do you stay quiet because you don’t want to hurt feelings? You can be assertive AND polite. Think carefully about what you need to communicate.
• Being a good listener- are you listening to prepare for a response, or do you listen to understand?
• Understanding that everyone runs into communication issues because everyone has a unique way of communicating.
