Permission Based Communication: Respecting Each Other’s Boundaries and Bring Up Conversations Without Backlash: Episode 205

Baby Freeman is HERE! If you’re seeing this episode it means our baby girl was born :) But we recorded these episodes to make sure you have resources while we’re snuggling her. The opposite of “Permission Based Communication” is “Permission-Less Communication”....which is more likely to lead to defensiveness, backlash, or an unintended argument.  The thing is, it’s not respectful to just bring up a topic whenever YOU want to talk about it. Why? Because it’s not respecting and honoring your partner’s boundaries or taking into account if they’re really and open and prepared for it. And this applies to moments when you want to: ask them to do something, express feelings you have about a certain issue, give them feedback, etc.  Implementing “Permission-Based Communication” will help you two have more constructive conversations, so you’ll love this episode!    Also, make sure you watch the FREE WebClass we recorded for you all: The 5 Step Process to Fully Repair After an Argument So You Reconnect in Minutes, Instead of Hours, Days, or Weeks
