Why Communication Is Not the Real Problem, Part 2 | Dr. John Hudson

from Marriage Rehab: Exposing Narcissistic & Emotional Abuse · host Marriage Recovery Center / Dr. David B. Hawkins

If you've cycled through communication techniques and still land in the same fight, this episode explains why. Dr. David Hawkins and Dr. John Hudson return for Part 2 of their series on why communication is rarely the actual problem in a struggling marriage — it's usually the visible symptom of something deeper: emotional immaturity, power and control, manipulation, chronic invalidation, or emotional abuse.They challenge the assumption that ‘it takes two to tango’ equally in every troubled relationship, and make the case that real change starts with assessment, not another round of communication tools. You'll get a first look at the Marriage Recovery Center's new Relationship Dynamics Assessment (RDA) — a free, 7-minute tool covering seven relationship domains — and hear why MRC spends four full sessions on assessment alone before any treatment begins.
