Communication

Communication is a fundamental part of every relationship we have. Effective communication can be the key to life feeling fulfilling or not. So often, we are communicating in ways that don’t feel helpful for us or our relationships.

I regularly see clients who are experiencing issues with communicating. Sometimes it looks and sounds big and loud, aggressive. Other times it is submissive and apologetic, passive. It can even be a mix of these, passive-aggressive.

When we first start discussing communication I can see clients feeling stuck in how they communicate. Unsure how to change it.

I use the communication scale to support clients in separating the differing communication styles. I believe information is power and the more we know the more we can do something.

The Communication Scale

I wonder where you might place yourself on this scale?

Communication is regularly something that comes up in the first few sessions with clients. One of my favourite parts of my role is watching a weight being lifted from a client as they begin to understand their own communication styles as they learn how to change it where it doesn’t feel helpful or fulfilling.

I’m hoping in the next few months to release my communication styles workbook. If you’d like to be the first to hear about it, pop your details below and I’ll send you the link when it’s ready.
