Relationships can be challenging. You feel one minute, things are going well and then suddenly you wonder who you are living with? Conflict and misunderstandings occur and you can feel resentful and exhausted, wondering why things aren’t just easy?
A major problem can be that we often make huge assumptions about other people, what they think, feel, intend and what their values are. Or sometimes we do not see the person infront of us, instead a projection of our own stereotypical desires of what the perfect partner or relationship should be. Clear and honest communication in relationships begins within – being clear about what you think, feel and behave like and communicating it effectively, is essential if we are to understand where someone else is coming from and the dynamics between people.
