Here are healthy points for healthy communication: -Listen without countering. Actively try to hear the other person’s point of view. Stop planning what you are going to do or say next and just tune in. Don’t be defensive. -Make eye contact. -Speak for yourself. Make "I" statements about what you feel, and need. -State and restate what you have heard. Seek clarification. -Stick to the subject. Make your point without making accusations. -Provide examples or details to support your point. -Look inside yourself. What is the motive behind the words you choose to say? To defend, provoke, distract or to really communicate? -Ask for behavioral change. Bring the conversation back to your everyday life. What will be different after this discussion? What can be expected? -Remember your partner’s trigger points. Then resist the temptation to use them. -Remember your own trigger points. Then resist the temptation to react. -Agree to disagree sometimes. Practice respectful acceptance of difference. -Remember the power of apology. If you know you have been hurtful or wrong.
