It's essential in all relationship.
We use it at work, at home, with spouses, children, etc.
Many people are able and freely express their thoughts and feelings.
Yet, they still feel stuck in their relationships.
These impasses create a lack of resolution.
The issues become recurring.
Some would stop the communication in order to keep the peace. Others feel their frustration building up and create emotional walls in the relationship.
One of the harder reality of relationship is that,
Effective Communication "Does Not" Require Agreement.
Effective Communication:
We Listen
We Show Attentiveness with Body Language
We Learn to Manage the Stress within ourselves and within the interaction
We Learn to be more Emotionally Aware and to Build Compassion
We Ask Questions for Clarity
We Consider the Other Person's Perspective
Communication is to express, explain, and not to convince.
An agreement will be reach if both persons are willing to understand and consider the other's perspective.
It may take a few go-around.
Yet, if the goal is to seek understanding and for to work through issues, then even in the face of disagreement, there will be resolution.
