Communication Matters, with Brian and Shauna Smith, is about communication and the human condition. A mental health counselor and speech-language pathologist discuss the vastness of communication and relationships, and provide tips and tricks for improving interpersonal communication skills. This all while being a married couple barbing, bickering, and bantering on these topics without killing each other on the air.

"Good initiative, bad judgment" is an admonishment commonly heard by Marines who have decided to do something without being ordered, resulting in unfavorable outcomes. These events in our life can also be described as learning good judgment through experience. As adults, we're typically aware of this process, but how do we learn it? More important is how we teach it to children. In this episode, we'll talk about how to communicate rules and guidance to children in a supportive manner which encourages awareness rather than shame, and helps children learn to develop good judgment.

This episode is the second installment about attachment styles, and we'll do a deep dive into fearful avoidant, which is complex enough to deserve its own show. (The first episode on attachment styles focused on anxious and dismissive avoidant styles.) We are joined by a special guest, Caley Featherstone, a local mental health counselor who has a passion for DBT, which is an effective therapeutic modality to help people with avoidant attachment styles, especially fearful avoidant. She will help us shed light on how fearful avoidant develops, what it looks and feels like, how to manage relationships with people struggling with this attachment style, and how people can recover.

Pull yourself together and hear about how to present the way you want to, especially in the midst of crisis. Or, maybe you do great in crisis, and, in doing so, tend to shut down and shut out those around you. Either way, don't panic! We'll have some insight and ideas about personal bearing in this episode of Communication Matters.

A sympathetic smile, an empathetic ear... what's the difference? Is that pity or compassion? Do we need to vent, do we want advice? Are those words of comfort or meaningless platitudes? Offering support to those we care about can be tricky and a little uncomfortable, and when we are struggling, we might not know what we need; when we get something we don't need, it can be frustrating. In this episode we delve into how to offer, seek, and accept support, and hopefully pull some of the uncertainty about how to best respond when there's not a problem to solve.

Look, we need to talk... Most of us don't like negative feedback, even if we say we welcome it. When it's presented as criticism and blame, layers of relational obstacles and distractions are added. In this episode, we'll explore how to hear negative feedback, what to do with it, how to respond, and -- most importantly -- how to shift the conversation away from criticism and blame.

We all have had moments -- or are dreading future moments -- when we need to have a hard conversation. These are usually ones where we're worried about hurting someone's feelings or disrupting status quo. Maybe we have to deliver some difficult news. What if they take it personally? What if they become upset? What if they let it impact the relationship? Most importantly, what if we don't have the conversation? In this episode we explore some of the thoughts and emotions that might spool up our anxiety and get in the way of having these conversations in a productive way or at all, and suggest some ideas about how to have them as painlessly as possible.

It sure would be nice if people would be more direct... Why do we do this? Many of us tend to drop hints or beat around the bush in an effort to be polite or unobtrusive rather than asking for what we want or need, and this can be a frustrating process for all parties involved. In this episode we directly address some of the reasons why we communicate this way, and suggest a few ways to be more clear (without being rude, of course).
