Talk to me like I’m someone you love

Listen to the interview.

We’ve all been there. A conversation with a loved one escalates into conflict. Voices rise to a fever pitch and angry words fly. Dr. Nancy Dreyfuss, a psychotherapist and couples therapist with more than two decades of experience and the author of Talk to Me Like I’m Someone You Love, joined me  to talk about how to communicate with her ”flash cards for real life”. They’re written statements that express what we wish we could communicate to the person we love, but either can’t find the right words or the right tone in which to say it. The statements include:

*Taking responsibility: “I realize I’m overreacting. Can you give me a minute to get sane again?”

*Apologizing: “I know I’ve really hurt you. What can I do to help you trust me again?”

*Loving: “You are precious, and I get that I haven’t been treating you like you are.”

A one-of-a-kind, practical relationship tool, Talk to Me Like I’m Someone You Love will help couples to stop arguing and begin healing.
