Roseville Marriage Counseling and Coaching
Improve Your Communication in Your Relationship with Marriage Counseling in Our Roseville Office
Improving communication is the most common goal couples want to work on when they call me for counseling. It’s not a surprise to know that most couples, regardless of their intelligence, compatibility, or background struggle with communicating effectively with one another.
Bad communication skills attributes to 90% of the problems couples experience. Think about it this way: how satisfied are you going to be if you are not able to share what’s on you mind with your partner in a way that they understand?
Knowing how to communicate effectively is the most important skill that every couple should learn in order to have a successful, satisfying relationship. Effective communication is the main tool used in resolving conflict, and every reaction will have its fair share of conflict.
Signs of Ineffective Communication
- Avoiding the expression of opinions or feelings and needs
- Allowing grievances and annoyances to mount leading to explosive outbursts, which are usually out of proportion to
the triggering incident - Criticizing, blaming, and belittling to avoid hearing the other point of view
