In relationships, both partners are coming from different backgrounds, core values, and childhood learning behaviors. Each person has learned their own communication style and coping patterns. These differences can cause a rift in the relationship, but the three C's of connection, commitment, and consistency can help you navigate your rough patch.
People just want to be heard and understood in their relationship, but there are often barriers in the way. Today's guest is couples counselor Nicole Kleiman-Reck, LMHC. Nicole joins the show today to share the tools she uses in sessions with her clients and how you can incorporate them into your life.
Nicole has been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 20 years, is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and has worked with individuals of various ages across the Autism Spectrum. Overall, her specialty is in helping her clients realize that managing their stressors is more important than just managing the stress as it allows you to cope with anything that comes your way.
