Hands Up If You're Human
Tune in the first and third Tuesdays of the month for the Hands Up If You're Human podcast, dedicated to exploring and celebrating the messy reality of being human. In these conversations we will be discussing the many challenges and barriers we all face that prevent us feeling connected, fulfilled and happy, and explore the ways we can create the lives we really want to live by understanding, accepting and fully embracing All That We Are.
Hands Up If You're Human
Episode 9 - Are you COMMUNICATING or just TALKING?
One of the frequently listed "secrets" of successful relationships is good communication. But what does that actually mean, how many of us would genuinely say they do it well (spoiler alert, not that many), and why is it so hard to do?
Lisa and Wyndham reflect on their relationships with partners, friends and family to try to figure out why we often feel defensive, how easy it is to misunderstand and misconstrue what people say, and critically, why we should be looking inwards at ourselves when we find ourselves reacting to what other people say and do!
Hopefully after this episode you'll have a better idea whether you are communicating or simply talking, and importantly, what to do about it.
