Honored to have Fortune Magazine feature OurRitual's Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Orna Guralnik, and her insights into the most common communication pitfalls couples fall into! 💥 💬 🗣
The 2 big ones:
1. People tend to enter into conversations with the intention to make their own needs and feelings heard.
2. People are preoccupied with trying to convince their partners of their own perspective or feelings.
The 'solution'?:
1. Reach out with curiosity into your partners' inner world. In Orna's words: "while feeling understood is important, getting your point across is, to be blunt, “not the most important thing in the world.”
2. Don't craft your response before the other person is done talking, instead, lean in and invest in what your partner has to say. “Nothing’s going to happen to you if you pay attention to someone else. You’re not going to disappear. You’re not going to be rolled over.”
