Channel: Reid Kilmer
Date: 2018-02-24

In this month's Rethink with Reid I speak with counselor Gail Williams. We dive into the key tools to effectively communicate with your significant others, what she sees successful couples doing, how to adjust when life gets in our way and more! Take the opportunity to rethink how you approach your relationships and learn from a master like Gail.

Gail and I also covered, what to do when communication breaks down due to infidelity? This didn't make it into the interview but we felt it was important to include. 

Here's Gail's advice: Communication breakdown and infidelity are two separate kinds of issues.  Communication breakdown occurs in almost every relationship to varying degrees and requires training and practice on active listening and verbalizing, respecting others opinions, etc. Whereas infidelity requires not only addressing communication issues, but trust, pain, healing, and hope. The key is helping the partner who was cheated on not take on the thoughts and emotions of not being good enough; not measuring up; dealing anger/resentment; insecurities, etc. while helping the other party take responsibility, make amends, answer questions, etc. without feeling so much shame and guilt that it backfires and they give up. It is such a delicate line and this does require some mediation.

Rethink with Reid is a monthly interview series exploring interesting topics and people. The subjects are chosen in hopes to spark and provide an opportunity for you the viewer to rethink the particular topic at hand. Whether you agree or not with the opinions, lifestyles, choices, values or point of views, it's as important as ever to see things from a different perspective and think about it rather than just react.
