Thirsty Thursdays with a Therapist: Shut. It. Up.

So often the “They don’t listen to me” problem isn’t a one-person problem though that’s how it’s often presented.  It’s a couple concern. 

If you feel your partner doesn’t listen, ask yourself how you communicate to them?  Do you attack and criticize while airing a concern?  How might you be blocking them from hearing you?  AND are you actively listening to them?

Perhaps you've tried a number of ways to get your point across and still feel misunderstand and not heard by your partner? If you feel like your partner doesn't listen to you particularly during conflict, then you must watch this episode to help them really hear you!
