Daily Shift 206: What communication actu...

Celeste The Therapist
About this episode

Most people think good communication means never fighting or always knowing the right thing to say. But real communication in a healthy relationship looks nothing like that. It's messier, more honest, and requires things most of us were never taught — like staying in the conversation when it gets uncomfortable, saying what you actually mean instead of what feels safe, and listening to understand instead of listening to respond. In today's episode Celeste breaks down what communication actually looks like when it's working — and what gets in the way.

If you've ever felt like you and your partner are speaking completely different languages, this one will help.

Today's shift: In your next difficult conversation, pause before you respond — and ask yourself, am I listening to understand or listening to reply?

Also listening to Shift and Scripture? Season 1 — Faith When It Hurts — is available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube @ShiftAndScripture. New episodes every Monday.
