@blairguinntherapy: Listening without being defensive doesn’t mean you have to agree with everything your partner says. ❤️ It means being willing to understand their experience before explaining your own. #relationships #dating #psychologyfacts #fyp #therapytiktok
My problem is that my husband tends to withdraw and stonewall me before he finally tells me what’s on his mind. By the time he communicates with me, my nervous system is shot, I’m anxious, angry, and reactive. He can’t (or won’t) change his behavior and I can’t change my behavior without effort from him to change first.

Honestly, you could try an AI app for English speaking practice. Talking to real people can be stressful, and practicing with AI takes some of that pressure off. Then you can ease into real conversations. I’ve been using Wellspoken for two weeks, and I feel like it’s helped me more than two years of living in the US

This is what led to my relationships downfall. Me not being emotionally available but it was never about me being defensive. I feel like I tried everything but nothing worked and it killed me in the process in the sense of not being able to help them. I know I need to work on being better at it though I just don’t know what to do at this point

what if they are the one that has been doing that to you for so long that you finally accepted it and act accordingly but now they think you are the one being distant or disconnected?

I keep hearing these therapists or relationship coaches say validate the person but none of them say what you should do to validate that persons feeling or concerns.
