Speaking Clearly Without Harm
Healthy communication isn't about being “nice” or “right”-it's about being honest, respectful, and clear. Many of us were never taught how to express our needs without fear or guilt.
Use “I” Statements
Instead of blaming or accusing, try starting with “I feel…” or “I need…” This keeps the conversation focused on your experience and encourages collaboration, not defensiveness.
Therapy Helps You Practice
Therapy provides a safe space to explore communication patterns and build confidence in expressing yourself clearly and kindly.
