In this episode I talk about the challenges of having difficult conversations in relationships. The key points include:

1. 
   
2. The importance of having difficult conversations for the growth of a relationship.
3. Two common challenges: individuals who struggle to express themselves and those whose messages are not understood by their partners.
4. The need to assess and gradually open up emotionally based on the partner's response.
5. The significance of understanding the purpose of communication, which is to share and achieve mutual understanding.
6. Strategies for initiating difficult conversations, such as labelling them and considering the partner's capacity to engage at that moment.
7. The necessity of tolerating uncomfortable information during these conversations for the sake of problem-solving and relationship improvement.

Overall, the intention behind the conversation is crucial, gradual sharing, clear labelling, considering timing, and a willingness to hear uncomfortable truths as crucial aspects of successfully navigating difficult conversations in relationships.
