Full Show notes: https://bit.ly/WellShitEpisodeGuide

Many people think they want people to communicate directly with them but when it comes to actually receiving that direct communication, their tune often changes...and quickly. Because we're not use to it, and due to our unmet needs, direct communication can feel like a criticism or an attack when it can actually be what strengthens relationships. Tune into this episode as we discuss the difference between negatively impacting someone's needs and not catering to their comfort and how you can be direct while being mindful of other people's needs.

In this episode we cover:

• A trip down a rabbit hole that changed the topic of this podcast
• Direct communication isn't personal
• Asking for what feels good
• The importance of being transparent
• The anomaly that is Claire
• The art of being direct
• The negative impacts of not being our true and honest self
• Navigating the top three unmet needs in direct communication
• Communicating directly without using verbal language
• Removing the room for interpretation
• Making direct communication successful communication
