Want Better Communication? Stop Bulldozing & People-Pleasing
Briefly

Mindful communication requires individuals to assess their true priorities in any interaction. By focusing on objectives, relationships, and self-respect, we navigate conversations more effectively.
Asking yourself how you want to feel about yourself during tough conversations—"How do I want to feel about myself?"—can help maintain your integrity and self-respect.
Balancing outcomes with empathy is crucial for effective communication. This dance of priorities allows us to maintain strong relationships while also standing up for ourselves.
The DBT skill emphasizes the importance of clarity in interactions. Reflecting on objectives, relationships, and self-respect paves the way for intentional communication.
