Hello, you beautiful people!

Today on the 'pod, Terrie Lewine is joining Olivia Pelts to have a chat about -- how do we have healthy conversations? What are the components of a healthy dialogue? What if we can't find resolution in the conversation -- what if our partner blows up and dismisses me?

 The components of a healthy conversation

  1. Observation

  2. Tell them how you feel vs what they did 

  3. Needs

  4. Making a request

 

Lets get into it!

Terrie Lewine, Couples Coach

My work is about honest communication in a container of care. The result is relationships that are satisfying and fully chosen. Empowered relating on all sides. No one is resigned and resentful, and fully at choice. And everyone’s needs are getting met. There are simple ways to make this happen through language. Small changes in language will make great shifts in relationship satisfaction."
