I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Jessica Higgins, an expert in relationship dynamics and host of the Empowered Relationship Podcast. We dive into strategies for couples to deeply connect during conflicts, with Dr. Higgins sharing practical tips and personal experiences. We explore how to bring awareness to emotions in moments of conflict, what to reveal to our partners, and how to make requests instead of criticisms. With two graduate degrees in psychology and over 20 years of experience, Dr. Higgins offers profound insights. Plus, she shares a free download, 'Shifting Criticism for Connected Communication,' to help listeners enhance their connection. Tune in for valuable advice on communication and conflict resolution.
