Description

One of the most inspiring parts about Nonviolent Communication for me is how it helps people connect across differences. But let’s be honest: there are some differences that are harder to navigate than others, and that's why I'm devoting an entire episode to this one.  Picture this: Partner A is dissatisfied with an aspect of the relationship and attempts to discuss it with Partner B. However, Partner B responds with some variation of “I don’t want to talk about it.” How do you begin to navigate a difference like this if one partner isn’t willing to talk about it? Join me as I explore and shed light on this common relationship dynamic where one partner is eager to address issues while the other is hesitant to engage in conversations. Together we will explore the emotions and needs that might be at play in this challenging situation, without casting blame on either partner.  Whether you're the partner yearning to discuss and resolve issues or the one who doesn't want to talk about it, this episode offers valuable insights and tips to navigate this tricky terrain with empathy and compassion.  Tune in to learn how to connect across differences, including one as challenging as this.    Resources Download your free list of Universal Human Needs at www.alimillercoaching.com/feelingsandneeds Book a free 30-minute consult call with me at www.calendly.com/alimillercoaching/30  Email me your thoughts and questions: Ali@AliMillerCoaching.com

Did you know that too much conflict and arguing is one of the top 3 reasons couples get divorced? According to Forbes, 58% of divorcing couples cited this as their #1 reason for splitting up. When I read this 2024 statistic, my first thought was: It doesn't have to be this way! Hi, I'm Ali Miller, and I created the Love Each Other Better Podcast to share relationship-saving tools and principles that will help you and your partner spend less time fighting and more time doing what you do best: loving each other. I'm a longtime Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a Certified Coach specializing in couples communication and conflict resolution. I've worked with hundreds of couples over the past two decades, helping them work through their challenges and create thriving relationships. On the Love Each Other Better Podcast, I share transformational tools and inspiration from Nonviolent Communication to help couples find their happy again, tools I've only been sharing with my clients and students until now. I am overjoyed to be able to share them with you here on this podcast. Whether you're on the verge of divorce or just a tad bit dissatisfied in your relationship and know it can be so much better, you're in the right place if you want more fun, more ease, and more LOVE in your relationship. I'm so glad you're here.
