Set Yourself Up For Successful Conversations, Even During Divorce with Communications Expert, Liz Becker on Divorce & Beyond #222

Face it, if you could have great conversations with your spouse you might not be facing divorce or separation.  So often, by the time that couples reach the point of divorce, they have long since stopped communicating effectively and often have actually established toxic patterns in how they speak to each other that are ultimately self-defeating.  Button pushing, blaming and other communication rabbit holes sabotage the ability to have successful conversations.
