  2. ! Open communication is an important factor of healthy relationships! Here are some strategies to keep in mind when you’re talking with others, whether it is your partner, a friend, or anyone else.

  3. Body Language • Pay attention to what you and the other person are doing with your bodies. • Are someone’s arms crossed? • Are you making eye contact? • These things can influence the meaning and direction of a conversation.

  4. In a disagreement, you might be tempted to get defensive or accusatory. Be patient and let yourself process what your partner is saying. If you need to, it’s okay to come back to a conversation at a later time! Process

  5. Active Listening • & Clarification • Giving feedback to someone by rephrasing what they’ve said lets that person know they’ve been heard and know what has been heard (and if they need to clarify their thoughts). If you don’t understand what someone has said, ask them to repeat it! • Active listening also includes showing you are listening through body language like making eye contact, and waiting your turn to speak.
