Closed Heart Communication - includes the Four Horsemen that poison relationships: a. Criticism: When one person implies that there is something wrong with the other person. The other person will most likely feel attacked and respond defensively. b. Defensiveness: When the person responding to a perceived criticism counter attacks with another criticism or plays the innocent victim. c. Contempt: When one person puts themselves on a superior moral high ground or holds the other with disgust. d. Stonewalling: When one person withdraws from the conversation either physically or energetically.2. Appreciative Communication -- coming from a lens of appreciation for another person’s point of view and asks these questions: a. What? b. When? c. How? d. Who?Five Love Languages 1. Words of affirmation 2. Quality time 3. Giving/receiving gifts 4. Acts of service 5.
