1 post | 1 read
When trying to share your feelings, does it end up in a fight more times than not? Do you want constructive discussions with your partner that lead to deeper connection and a healthier relationship? Most of us never learned to effectively share our own feelings or how to receive the feelings of our partner. The good news is that it's a skill you can learn--and if you're in a relationship, it's a necessary skill. Being in a relationship without knowing how to share your feelings and receive your partner's feelings in useful ways is like jumping into a pool without knowing how to swim. You can flail around all you want, but it's not going to keep you afloat for very long--you need to be able to move in any direction at will.

I occasionally try to read self-help books for a lesson in self-improvement. This book is just that. After a year of living through the pandemic I can admit that my communication skills can use some improvement. This book discusses it clearly. Now I just have to put it into practice.
