Effective Couples Communication
Good communications in your relationships at work, at play or in your couples life, makes the difference between success and failure!
At Sawayer Logistics we’ll help you to understand your own communication style and those of your workmates, playmates and your intimate partners.
We take a coaching or growth perspective as opposed to a psycho-therapeutic approach because or goal is your growth as individuals and couples. We don’t focus on history, fault, blame or negativity.
Our goal is improved communication and thereby improved relationships!
Interpersonal conflicts don’t tend to get better on their own.
Without guided improvement to your communication skills, prolonged communication difficulties can lead to a host of unwanted and unnecessary problems.
Long lasting communication problems can lead to misunderstandings, tensions, physical distancing, increased conflicts, personal stress, can sometimes bring an end to the relationships you need and value!
In our coaching class, you will actually practice in real time, communicating with your partner on video on critical relationship topics, and then process the interaction.
Can poor communication skills be changed to good communications?
Yes, you can go from having severe problems in your communicating to experience effective communicating. Why? Because poor communication habits can be unlearned and replaced with better ones, just like many other skills
Since each person brings their own learned style of communication into the relationship, you have twice the confusion.
For example, in a couple, the ability to effectively communicate affects everything from money management to the frequency of intimate encounters and everything in between.
Practice Makes Perfect
You didn’t learn how to communicate overnight, and learning new patterns won’t happen overnight either. It’s a commitment to your relationship that takes effort and time. The question is simply how much you value your relationship.
Better communications skills can be learned
We learn to communicate with another person immediately after we leave the womb.
Without some type of learned language, we are left to interpret what we hear, see, smell and feel and in a constant mode of checking our physical for safety.
If your early caretakers had poor or inconsistent communication skills, then, as a child, you had to react to those styles and form your own reality about meanings. This can cause confusion and anxiety as a child and later as an adult.
