Want better conversations today? Try these three simple skills that actually help.
1) Reflective Listening: repeat the feeling, not the lecture — “So you’re feeling frustrated about the plan?” (We model this gently in sessions so it doesn’t feel weird.)
2) I‑Statements: own it — “I feel hurt when…” instead of “You always…” (yes, it works).
3) Time‑limited Check‑ins: set a 10‑minute pause to share—no interruptions, no fixing, just listening.
Your therapist at Manifest Joy Counseling will help you practice these skills in a calm, judgment‑free space. We accept insurance and offer in -person and virtual appointments. Ready to try one of these skills today? Book a quick consult: https://www.manifestjoycounseling.com/
