Well, hello, and welcome to this episode of The Terry Cole Show

that I want to start with a question.

When you are in the heat of a fight,

do you have a tendency to either explode and say things

that you don't mean or that you're regretted

or do you shut down entirely?

Do you not talk to the person?

Do you give them the silent treatment?

Because these are all very common ways

that people block their own ability to communicate

when they are in conflict.

So in today's episode, I'm breaking down

the top four communication blockers,

things that we do when we're in conflict that are not good,

what you can do instead in each scenario.

And I'm also giving you scripts and sentence starters.

So when you are in the heat of the moment,

you will have the words that you need to not make it worse,

but actually get to some kind of resolution.

I want to take a moment to thank all of you

for hanging out with me today

because I super appreciate you.
