Take a Soft Communication Approach in All Your Relationships: Toxic, Dysfunctional, and Healthy

from Change My Relationship · host Karla Downing

Improving your communication skills improves your relationships. You can take a soft communication approach in your toxic, dysfunctional, and healthy relationships, and it will make a huge difference.  In dysfunctional and toxic relationships, there is pent up emotional energy that comes out in all interactions and especially with conflict. Healthy people also react when something triggers defensiveness.  It is easy to react intensely to people without intending to which can spiral into more drama. You cannot control what other people do or how they react, but you can control how you interact. Learning how to take a soft communication approach in all your relationships is a skill you need to develop. Watch this video to learn how. Karla Downing's passion is to see individuals, marriages, and families set free from dysfunction, scriptural misunderstanding, and emotional pain personally and relationally. Her Christian relationship advice includes messages, books, and classes that provide practical solutions grounded in biblical truths, bringing balance and clarity to life and relationship issues. She also desires to equip ministry leaders and counselors to reach out more effectively to those struggling with difficult relationships, including abuse.  #communication skills #toxic relationships #dysfunctional relationships #healthyrelationship  #Christianrelationshipadvice    Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gPGLaYlP3Nk
