S1 Episode 29 MARRIAGE Conflict: Thinking Distortions Part 2 False Beliefs and Conflict Apr 17, 2018

Show notes

Gil and Brenda present Part 2 of this podcast on communication and conflict. Pass it along to your friends, family, and co-workers. They share great insights into the distorted thinking that hinders our communication with others. And they are BIG on communicating well so that connection happens. False beliefs about ourselves can get in our way of loving and speaking to others in a healthy productive fashion.

Gil and Brenda encourage you to have an honest conversation with a trusted friend and/or spouse to share these distortions. A reciprocal conversation of, “do you see this in me? Do I have this distortion?” could be very eye-opening!

The Stuarts are always here to help. As a Counselor/Coach they speak with people all the time, all over the world! If you need a little extra help with this conversation, you can contact them at hello@gilandbrenda.com
