We don't need to continue this pattern. We don't need to feel the shame. We can make changes. As you know, change is possible is not just a great marketing statement. It is a statement of change.
Ever find yourself regretting something you said in the heat of the moment? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Tales From the Office', seasoned therapist Jeff Brandler dives into the critical difference between reacting and responding. Jeff, with over three decades of experience in marriage and family therapy, shares practical strategies to help you communicate more effectively with those who matter most in your life.
He explains that while reactions are often knee-jerk and emotionally charged, responses are thoughtful and deliberate. By adopting simple techniques like stopping to breathe and using 'I' statements, you can transform how you handle conflicts and improve your relationships. Jeff’s wisdom isn't just theoretical; he provides actionable steps that you can start using today. Plus, he throws in a bit of light-hearted advice for adding joy to your daily life, inspired by Action for Happiness' Joyful June calendar.
Whether you're looking to enhance your personal or professional interactions, this episode offers valuable insights to help you respond rather than react, leading to more meaningful and satisfying relationships.
