Couple's Communication: You Can('t) Improve Your Communication

Imperfectly Phenomenal Woman

Therapist Morgan Graves shares tips on effective communication with your partner and others. In this Tips from an Expert episode we discuss:

• the four communication styles and antidotes as described by Gottman's The Four Horsemen: Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling,
• how to respond if you shut down during conflict and why people are conflict avoidant,
• the impact of assumptions,
• boundaries,
• the importance of self-awareness, individuality and authenticity in relationships, and
• what communication issues appear with people outside of romantic relationships like family, friends, and coworkers.
