🔅Discover Below Little Known Secrets About Empathic Communication…
👫 Are you aware of this? When we communicate with our partner, we often find ourselves in the role of either the speaker or the listener.
If you are the speaker, this is likely what’s happening internally for you, and you might not even be aware of all of these. That’s why I made this post for you—to shed some light and take some of the heaviness away.
🧠 In your internal world, a bunch of words, thoughts, and feelings are floating around, such as: “I just want to feel listened to, connected, and know that what I say matters.”
🌌 Internally, I have thoughts and feelings of disconnection, disappointment, being unheard, unseen, and misunderstood.
🤷♀️ I am aware that my communication isn’t coming across as loving or caring. I don’t know what to do as I’ve tried many things to convey my message with no success.**
🧎♂️ I think my partner just doesn’t want to speak to me anymore; they don’t care or enjoy our conversations. They might think they can find someone better than me, which is even more scary for me.**

📜 Here is the truth - all of the above is not real! It’s just a construction of our illusionary reality!
🥊 This might be shocking, and I feel your pain, but these experiences are just internal thoughts in the infinite mind where we imagine things. We often acknowledge these thoughts as real, even when they aren’t (based on research most of what we think, 95%, will never happen). Our thoughts interpret and color our human experience.
🌟 We are not our thoughts or our emotions. We are what we believe we are.
Understanding these three principles makes it easier to communicate more lovingly and effectively with our partner.
🌀 Remember we can’t control what they think, do, or say, but we can observe our thoughts and choose to believe them or not.
We can then choose what we say and do to connect with them. If what we think, say, or do comes from a place of love and our heart, we can melt anyone’s heart, making them genuinely interested in what we have to say.
💠 Here is a powerful guide specifically designed for couples who are struggling with communication. I was inspired to create this guide and enhanced it with insights from the Godfather of Relationship Coaching & Therapy John Gottman and Anatoly Rapoport, the Nobel Prize winner for bringing peace at a global level.
This will completely change the way we think about communication and how we talk with our partner forever.
