Lyn is joined by relationship therapist and coach, Bridgitte Green, to talk about effective communication in relationships. They delve into the importance of communication in maintaining healthy and fulfilling relationships. Bridget emphasises the significance of 'listening', being specific about needs, and showing respect for each other in our conversations. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Effective communication in relationships is crucial for understanding and avoiding misunderstandings.
• Specificity in communication about needs and wants is essential to ensure clarity and to avoid assumptions.
• Taking time to actively listen, repeat back, and avoid interruptions can improve understanding & communication in relationships.
• Resentments can build up when communication is lacking, so it's important to address and discuss issues openly.
• Showing respect, listening attentively, and being mindful of body language can enhance communication and strengthen relationships.

BEST MOMENTS

"Aways listen and speak with respect to your partner. If we speak with respect, then we can prevent those conversations that blow up."

"Your relationship is a living, breathing entity. You wouldn't leave anything that's living and breathing. So don't leave your relationship to starve." 

"I think quite often we're sometimes so keen to prove our point that we're not actually listening to them."

"True love starts with opening our hearts."
