Conflict is a natural part of any relationship whether it's with a partner, family member, friend, or colleague. But what if I told you that three little words have the potential to turn conflict into an opportunity for deeper connection and understanding? At Maggie Hollinbeck LMFT I believe in the profound impact of intentional communication. These three words often overlooked in moments of tension can pave the way for resolution and reconciliation. The Three Little Words: "Tell me more." Simple yet powerful, these words invite empathy, openness, and active listening into the conversation. Instead of reacting defensively or shutting down, they encourage a genuine desire to understand the other person's perspective. By saying "tell me more," you signal that you're willing to listen without judgment, to explore beyond the surface of the issue, and to validate the other person's feelings and experiences. 🌱 Ready to Embrace Effective Communication?

They are actually a bit opposite in a way. Oversharing can result in more disconnect, disengagement and awkwardness between 2 people whereas vulnerability brings them more closer. Oversharing occurs when you splurge or dump a lot of private and personal information or issues to someone expecting emotional support or intimacy that doesn’t match the stage or level of trust the relationship is at. The other person on the receiving end may interpret that as “too much info too soon”. Vulnerability, on the other hand, takes into consideration how well the two of you know each other and the level of trust that has been established so far and at the core the intention is to deepen that connection . Personally, I believe vulnerability also takes into consideration the possible readiness of someone else to hear what you have to say as well as their own readiness, whereas in oversharing there is a sense of entitlement to dump with complete disregard for the readiness of the other.

When someone comes to you with a problem, ask them if you should listen with love (or understanding, if you are in the workplace) to understand what the person is describing, or logic, in which you will listen for the root cause, help them prioritize, or figure out how to address their needs. #empathy #emotionalintelligence #activelisting #relationships #communication #connectionovercomplication #understandingothers #simplesolution #onequestion #avoidcomplexitybias #empathyquestion #listeningtips #emotionalwisdom #compassion #perspective #puttyourselfintheirshoes #emotionalconnection #emotionalhealth #mentalhealth #selfdevelopment #personalgrowth #bettercommunicator #Ericherdman
