Mastering Communication Maturity with Dr. Andrea Vitz
Episode Overview
Effective communication is key to healthy relationships. We often mirror the behaviours we criticise in others. Politeness can sometimes conceal true feelings. Self-reflection helps break free from victimhood. Being 'real' in conversations leads to better understanding.
If it goes without saying, say it first.

Dr. Vitz offers a unique perspective on how we often mirror the behaviours we criticise in others, leading to a 'wake-up call' for many.
By examining both sides of a relationship's communication issues, she helps people see their own role in the dynamic. This episode isn't just for those in romantic relationships; it’s for anyone looking to improve their communication skills and build more meaningful connections.
