Do you forget how to communicate with your partner? Have you found yourself being more ‘directive’ than ‘attractive’?
A very warm welcome everyone, to this episode of The Good News Guide!! A loving collection of conversations, stories, ideas, practices and tools from the greatest teachers, speakers, thought leaders, healers and humans on the planet.
This week, Lisa delves deep into the world of relationship communication with the wonderful, amazing and absolutely masterful Belinda “Belle” Bailey. She shares some truly priceless, incredibly incisive pearls of wisdom, on how we communicate in our relationships.
We all know that communication is key, in any relationship, but how much attention do we really give it? It is very easy to confuse communication with direction, projection and/or accusation.
We live in a society of social pressure to always get everything right. As a result; we all have a tendency to externalise all of (what we perceive to be) our faults. From business relationships to personal ones, we are always looking to mitigate responsibility for failure. Why?!
If you feel stuck in your relationship, because you just don’t know how to communicate with your partner, or are maybe stuck trying to figure out how you feel – there is something here to offer you hope and a greater awareness.
Belinda is so generous with her time and wisdom in this video. She shows us some amazing home-truths about how we communicate as women and men. Through her heightened perspective and skills as a relationship expert, she offers some beautifully loving ways in which we can approach ourselves and our relationships, in order to grow into the best versions of ourselves.
