S5E3 - Stress reducing conversations

What is a stress reducing conversation? How is it done and what does it help us with? The purpose of this process is to assist couples in the management of daily external stress, stress that comes from OUTSIDE the relationship, like job stress. If you can handle this together it may help reduce stress WITHIN the relationship too. The motto, ”Understanding First, then Advice”, means that emotional connection should be honoured, before moving to problem-solving. Empathy with emotions and problem solving are like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle: they fit together, and each is invaluable.
