Have you ever found yourself in a conversation with a friend or family member that all of sudden just took a downward turn? Afterwards you scratch your head and wonder how that happened. Even though you were both speaking English, it felt like you were both speaking completely different languages. The conversation ended up with huge misunderstandings, hurtful words spoken, heated emotions boiling over and a new brick in the wall existing between the two of you.
Sadly, this is so common today. It happens between spouses, friends, parents and children, family members, business colleagues…basically it happens to everyone. We have all been in those conversations where you walk away feeling hopeless that there will ever be any understanding in that particular relationship. Many people make the choice to walk away which can happen in a variety of ways. Some walk away emotionally and they rarely engage or are emotionally present. Others literally walk out the door and try to find someone else who might be more understanding.
Communication is hard work sometimes. And yet being able to communicate is the essence of being able to connect with loved ones in meaningful ways. There are tools, rules, and resources that can help navigate the times when communication gets stuck, sidetracked, overwhelmed, or out of control. The satisfaction of working through a difficult conversation with a loved one is so rich and satisfying. The shared connection is deeper and there is hope that your relationship can endure tough times and come out stronger. Learning how to fight well with your loved ones is a skill that is essential to healthy communication and ultimately healthy relationships.
