Enhancing Communication

 

When engaged in a conflict, use 'I statements'. Talk about how you feel, what you think, and how you interpret the situation. Saying things like 'You never listen to me' puts the other person on the defensive and invites a negative response. Saying 'I often feel like I am not being listened to' communicates how you feel and opens up a dialogue.
