- Reassuring
- Giving advice
- Intellectualizing
- Going off on a tangent
- Interrupting
- these habits can prevent the speaker from saying what they’re feeling and they may eventually shut down
- we need to listen first, before coming in with our contribution
Take a few moments to identify your particular bad habit and then discuss this with your husband or wife.
