In this episode, Randy and Beverly examine why both partners get stuck in "not listening" mode. Communication is different between Hearts and Heads. The Head partner is often communicating to "fix" a problem while the Heart partner will communicate to create or repair connection. Because we communicate differently, we're actually tuned into different parts of the conversation. It leads to miscommunication. #HeartVersusHead #ImNotListeningToYou #WhatAreYouMissing #listeningskills #feelingunheard
