Improve Your Communication With Therapy
Relationships are challenging, but not impossible. By improving your communication techniques using counseling in Tampa, FL, you will enhance the relational friendship and create meaningful relationships.
In distressed relationships, spouses make bids for affection, support, attention, etc. When the other person misses this opportunity, it may damage the trust and love in the relationship. This occurs in conflicts. Most couples fail to connect with their partners during disagreements. How these disagreements are handled is critical.
Collaborative Therapeutic Services in Tampa, FL recommends the following steps to resolve conflicts and rebuild connections.
Before any conflict, think about instances that angered you. Identify how long you stayed upset and the time it took you to become calm. Tell your partner.
In case of a disagreement, pay attention to when either of you get upset beyond reasonable limits.
If either of you gets upset beyond a certain limit, explain it might be best to resume the conversation later.
Whoever decides the time, will resume the conversation again.
When either of you are on a break, jot down your emotions and thoughts. Ensure your partner does not read what you're writing at this stage.
Reread what you wrote and identify your emotions. How does this argument make you feel?
Once you’re able to calmly express your feelings, determine how you will change the conversation and resolve the issue.
Once you resume the conversation, use only “I” statements and avoid using the word “you”, especially when stating emotions.
As the conversation progresses, validate and acknowledge what your partner shares.
Avoid thinking of rebuttals. Focus on listening and empathy to get a good understanding of the issue.
When both parties have shared their thoughts and emotions, it’s time to share the resolutions as well.
In the last step, both partners should identify techniques that can help circumvent similar conflicts in the future.
Support you can count on.
