Jeannine Deramo Season 1 Episode 20

Have you ever felt like you and your partner are speaking different languages when it comes to communication? You're not alone. In this candid and unscripted episode, I sit down with my husband David to explore the intricacies of communication in relationships.

We dive into the challenges of modern communication, from the pitfalls of texting to the importance of clear, direct expression. Drawing from our own experiences and lessons learned in therapy, we share insights that could help you navigate your own relationship waters.

Here's what we discuss:

🗣️ Why texting is destroying your relationship communication

🗣️ How to handle overwhelming text messages without shutting down

🗣️ The difference between venting and problem-solving (and when to ask which one you need)
