#127 Heather Bjur [Strengthen Your Marriage with Honest Communication]
Next up in our marriage series, we are focusing on communication. How we interact with our husbands will either build our marriages up or tear them down. But honest, humble communication isn’t easy.
Today, I’m talking with Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Heather Bjur. She helps us understand why we might react the way we do, how humility can change our relationships, how our thoughts shape what we say, and how to begin to become emotionally honest.
You’ll hear us talk about…
Attachment style
How your thoughts affect your communication
Creating new neuropathways
Becoming emotionally honest
When to seek counseling
