Relationship Boundaries - Part 6: "I" Statements
•
Doc Holley
In Part 6 of Doc Holley's series on relationships she talks about "I" statements, a radical way of focusing communication on wants and needs, rather than devolving to bickering and arguments.
Focusing on "I" statements - how you feel, what you want, how you perceive things - immediately allows the person you're talking to, whether romantic partner, employee, store clerk or your child, the gift of negotiating wants and needs, listening and understanding, rather than simply competing accusations and criticisms.
In this episode Doc Holley covers one of the most important tools in your tool belt for quality relationships!
Look for the rest of this 7 part "must listen" series, some of Doc Holley's best work.
