Healthy Communication for Healthier Relationships: Communication Tools & Tips
In this week's video, I delve into the importance of communication in maintaining healthy relationships. I explore how communication can be challenging, especially when we have been exposed to unhealthy communication models throughout our lives. However, I also emphasize the need for quality communication that can resolve problems and ensure that our needs are met.
To understand communication better, I examine the four types of communication, namely passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, and assertive communication. I highlight the characteristics of each type and the impact they can have on relationships.
I particularly focus on assertive communication, which I identify as the healthiest communication style. I explain what assertive communication entails and provide examples of how to apply it in various situations. I also offer guidance on how to develop assertive communication skills that can help individuals build stronger and healthier relationships.
Listen in this week as I explore the importance of effective communication and how assertive communication can help individuals foster healthy relationships in their personal and professional lives.
