Summary

The strongest relationships in our lives come when we are able to communicate with our partner from our adult chair, and they are communicating with us from their own.

We roll-play on the show this week, demonstrating and deconstructing a partner conversation and illustrate some key concepts that will absolutely change the way you communicate with your friends, partners, and spouse.
