The power of nonviolent communication and its transformative potential in how we communicate, especially with ourselves, and its impacts on our relationships. Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. We talked about how self-talk significantly affects our relationships. We discussed the negative impact of violent self-talk and the importance of adopting a nonviolent communication approach in our self-talk. Nonviolent communication provides a valuable framework for transforming our self-talk and, by extension, our relationships. It's about recognizing and harnessing our words' power to foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others.
