In this episode, Jess and I discuss our top five favorite communication tips that have been particularly beneficial for us lately. We emphasize the importance of effective communication in fostering understanding and connection in relationships.
The tips include techniques such as relaying back what was heard to clarify misunderstandings, using "I" statements to express emotions and experiences, implementing redirects to stay focused during conversations, exploring defensiveness to uncover deeper emotions, and always assuming the best intentions from the other person.
We also touch on the significance of vulnerability in communication and the role of the ego in defensive behaviors.
