🌟 Communication breakdowns happen, but they don't have to break us apart! 🌟 Sometimes, all it takes is a few words to acknowledge each other's experiences and keep the conversation moving forward. Here are some phrases that can help bridge the gap, even when we don't see eye to eye: 1. "I apologise..." - Owning up to our mistakes and expressing genuine remorse can go a long way in repairing relationships. 2. "I was wrong to..." - Admitting when we've made a misstep shows humility and opens the door to understanding. 3. "Forgive me for..." - Asking for forgiveness shows respect for the other person's feelings and can help heal any hurt caused. Remember, these phrases aren't about assigning blame or admitting defeat – they're about fostering understanding and creating a culture of constructive communication. Even when we agree to disagree, let's keep the dialogue respectful and focused on finding solutions. Together, we can bridge the gaps and build stronger connections! 💬💪

Try as we might, we can't always avoid communication breakdowns. Sometimes even the most carefully crafted message is misunderstood. Sometimes that's our fault for not being clear. Sometimes it's the other person's fault for not fully listening. Regardless, the one thing we can control is our reaction when it happens. As enticing as it is to throw ourselves on the ground and engage in a full blown tantrum that rivals that of an overly stimulated and overly tired 2-year-old's, it's not going to solve anything. It's time to take a deep breath, figure out where it all went wrong and calmly resolve the situation. You can do this😊

Hurting people would be at the expense and dignity of your name. You can be a great friend if you really want to. Choice!!! How would you feel if you're been treated by another the way you treat yourself? How would you feel if your own reactions to people were to be dished out to you by another? How would you feel if you're been made to feel 'I don't need you?' How would you feel when you've got a friend and that friend hasn't checked up on you for days? Just talks, no communication. They feel scared to talk to you. Your attention level has reduced to 0.5% and you care less cause you feel it would increase when you're fine again. Talking to you has been terrible. Your replies has been "No reply would be bad so I should just drop this". You don't respond or even want to communicate. You see, I believe it's best to tell someone you're fed up of them instead of treating them badly until they leave.... That leaves one on a very bad note and it causes so much pain leaving the person with the notion of 'been used'. Communication does a thing and I'm sure you're aware.

Snow Day Communication Tip 🌟 The quote below was said by 4-year-old, Juliana, to her 2-year-old unsettled sister. It seems so obvious and straightforward, but how often are we caught in communication traps? As much as we know others cannot read our mind, we often struggle to properly communicate our needs. At times, we let our needs build up so when we do communicate, it may come out in an unintended way and the message gets lost. I often tell people in the therapy room that words don’t always have to make sense. Get it out and we can work from there on putting it together. Get it out. Trust your gut. Honor your needs so others can too. Practice not silencing yourself. If worried about conflict, remember that “I” statements are disarming. #tlcwellness #therapytips #communicationtips #therapistsofphiladelphia #therapistsofmainline

Are you paying attention? Get off your phone when I’m talking 👇🏻 Here are three concise signs of disrespect in your property communication: 1. Interrupting: Continuously interrupting or talking over someone shows a lack of regard for their opinion. 2. Dismissive Body Language: Actions like eye-rolling, avoiding eye contact, or checking a phone during conversation signal disinterest and disrespect. 3. Belittling or Sarcasm: Mocking or sarcastic comments towards someone’s ideas or feelings are disrespectful and undermine trust. You need to be mindful of how you act in front of significant stakeholders / partners when having these important discussions. Notice Adjust Respect #property #irishproperty #expat #communication

Miscommunication or misunderstanding… Right now I’m sat working in the pub, the dogs been on strike today, it’s hair day and of course the rain is on. But I’m reflecting on communication and what I’m trying to teach my boy child. We have raised voices and challenges sometimes. We can both be quite literal, and he is at the stage where his emotions will escalate if I’m not understanding something he is saying (because he needs to expand on it) or I’m saying no and in his opinion without just cause and he is disagreeing (I mean this is standard 🤣) The biggest win I’ve had is to say to him IS THIS A MISCOMMUNICATION OR MISUNDERSTANDING? It can be that one or both of us, has misunderstood the other. We have a preagreed arrangement where I will say the above phrase and when I did at the weekend it completely changed the dynamic. Instead of being shouty, getting upset, it was like a switch, going ‘oh, yeah, it feels like that actually, let’s have a conversation and clear up what we are both meaning and how we can solve the problem together.’ So my question to you is, as an adult, do you have the same conversation with others? Or do you make assumptions, become heated, grumpy, angry, resentful, etc. It’s a simple sentence which can have a massive impact. Try it out. 👄 ❌👀🧠👄✅

Being able to say things we know others don’t want to hear is critical for our work. When we don’t feel safe to communicate something, when we fear a hostile response, one of our common reactions is to stay silent. That silence has consequences. Whether the relationship be with a partner, family member, friend, colleague, neighbour, or anyone else, what goes unsaid is like putting a brick down between us and them. Each time we withhold a communication, hurt and resentment grow in us. And that becomes another brick between us and them. Imagine the result of that over a period of time... The bricks get higher and higher. They begin to form a wall between us and the other person. Carry on reading in the blog this week: https://lnkd.in/dDQgUVJg

Effective communication after an altercation is key to resolving issues. Give space for each other to talk and truly listen. Stay calm yet assertive about your needs. For instance, say, 'Because our relationship matters, I'd appreciate it if you could please...' 🗣️💬 #CommunicationTips #ConflictResolution

In life, being a good listener is an important skill. When someone discloses a secret to you, you must keep it to yourself. Let’s examine the significance of these attributes. First and foremost, attentive listening entails paying attention to what others are saying. This demonstrates respect and understanding. When we listen, we might provide assistance, or advice, or simply be present for the other person. Secondly, keeping secrets demonstrates trustworthiness. Someone shares with you when they feel comfortable disclosing intimate information to you. Breaking that trust can destroy relationships and make others less likely to share with you in the future.
