At the end of each segment, discussion is encouraged. I'll indicate when we get to those points. The health of the relationship hinges on both side's ability to communicate effectively, not only their dissatisfaction and disappointments, but also their pleasure and satisfaction. It's also important to communicate things that may be an issue for you - either past abuse, fears, phobias and uncertainties. The only way to get your needs met, is to communicate them.
Communicating effectively is more than just talking.
You have to be able to voice your concerns, hopes, needs, dreams, disappointments, and hurts as well as all the positive emotions you so willingly share. Gestures, facial expressions and body language often say more than words. Listen to what is behind the words. Don't judge or ridicule. Communication can be difficult for some, but it can be done little by little if that works better for you.
