Congruent Communication

How congruent are you in your emotions versus behavior and speech? Do you sometimes say you’re fine but expect your partner to be so attuned that they know you’re not? .
.
Often times when asked how we are, the socially expected answer is a positive one... but what if your partner/you are not « fine »? How do you/they tune in and check out what’s behind the « fine » ? .
.
Do your emotions and feelings always match your behavior and speech? If not, what is one small thing you can do to try and integrate all of it into one consistent message? .
.
By being able to communicate a more clear, authentic picture of how we’re feeling, we give our partners a better chance to respond and meet our needs in a way that fits.
