18 days ago | 5 Views

Relationships can be tough when communication isn’t on point. Many conflicts and misunderstandings can be sorted out with good communication. If you find it hard to express yourself, there are some solid principles that can make your conversations more effective, according to relationship and attachment coach Rose Viggiano.

In a recent post called ‘Secure attachment communication skills for your relationship,’ she shared six tips to enhance your connection with your partner, helping you both develop a secure attachment and a deeper understanding of each other.

Here are six solid communication skills for building a secure attachment in your relationship

1. Concentrate on how you feel instead of worrying about who's right or wrong

Instead of trying to figure out who's right or wrong, pay attention to your feelings right now. It's more important to understand how both of you are feeling rather than just what went down. The relationship coach said, “Share your feelings without putting your partner down. Anger is often the first emotion we notice, but digging deeper is key for healthy communication.”

Hearing and mirroring your partner's thoughts and feelings is a foundational element for secure communication.

2. Acknowledge your partner's feelings, even if you see things differently

According to the relationship coach, really listening to and reflecting on your partner's thoughts and feelings is key to solid communication. “You don’t have to agree with them. What matters is that you understand their perspective and acknowledge their right to feel that way,” she said.

3. Let your guard down and let others really see you

"Feeling safe in a relationship happens when we truly believe our partner gets our struggles and emotions. To make that happen, we have to open up and show our vulnerable side," the relationship coach advised. This can be tougher for some people than for others.

4. Stay in tune with what your partner needs and be ready to respond

Effective communication is a two-way street. Both you and your partner should take responsibility for addressing issues as they come up. Plus, it's important to be open and ready to listen when the other person has something significant to discuss.

5. It's good to be open to talking about issues more than once

Couples often hit roadblocks when trying to mend their relationship for a few key reasons. First, one or both partners might feel like their emotions aren't being acknowledged. Second, harmful behaviors might still be going on. Lastly, past traumas can resurface, leading one or both partners to wrongly think that their significant other is to blame for bringing those feelings up.

6. Pay attention to body language

Non-verbal signals like body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice matter a lot more than many folks think. So, it's important to pay attention to them. The relationship coach pointed out that if you’re sitting with your arms crossed, rolling your eyes, and speaking loudly, you’re not creating a vibe of safety and security, which makes good communication even tougher.
