Chapter 1: Why is communication essential for healthy relationships?
if we could start communicating in a way where we're feeling more heard and seen and understood and just instead of just calling being called a whatever you know radical feminist or red pillar or whatever i think it would help you know kind of balance some of that out i mean what i found with working with couples extensively is when i can get the communication cleaned up many of the symptoms just start to really resolve on their own
