Stop Fighting & Flighting: 3 Steps to Practice Emotionally Mature Communication


Listen Later

Are you tired of repeating the same old immature responses in your relationships?

Dive into the transformative world of emotionally mature communication with hosts Tamara and Jess. In this episode, Transforming Communication in Relationships: From Immaturity to Maturity, we give you the tools to ditch reactive, immature communication and embrace a wiser, more secure way of interacting with the people you love.

We explore why we often revert to immature communication styles when we're triggered and how your inner child and attachment styles play a pivotal role in conflict resolution.

Things You'll Learn:
  • Identify and heal conflicts by recognizing the unmet attachment needs driving harsh or reactive communication.
  • Learn ways each attachment style shows immature communication and practice ways to flip that toxic script.
  • Understand the difference between the adaptive child's fight-or-flight response and the wise adult's humility and warmth.
  • Learn practical strategies like the “STOP Pause” responding to build emotional safety and security.
  • Discover how maturity involves tending to our inner children and modeling healthy communication for parenting and future generations.
  • Elevate your connection by practicing emotional attunement and secure relationships.

This journey to emotional intelligence and maturity is ongoing, but as we say, "It's never too late to turn things around." Tune in and start building the deeply connected, safe relationships you deserve.
