It is hard to talk to a loved one about their serious illness. And it can be hard to counsel families about how to communicate well.

This podcast will discuss 6 different communication styles: Direct & open, reserved & private, emotional & expressive, passive or reliant, information-seeking and avoidant or denying. Trying to match communication styles helps connection.

Which communication style do you use?
