Every couple disagrees — the real question is how you handle it.
In this episode, therapist and relationship coach Jason Polk shares practical communication tools he's developed over 10+ years of working exclusively with couples, drawing on the work of Terry Real and Stan Tatkin.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why self-regulation is the single most important communication skill
The difference between speaking from your anger vs. as a representative of it
How to stay on your side of the street and avoid triggering defensiveness
Why requests work better than criticism — and how to make them
The Feedback Wheel tool (link below)
How to create agreements around persistent issues
When and how to use a timeout before things escalate
Why accepting that reality is subjective can transform your conversations
Whether you're in couples therapy or working on your relationship on your own, these strategies will help you communicate more clearly, fight less destructively, and reconnect more quickly.
