Most people find it difficult to share their thoughts or feelings with others. It can be especially difficult to share with people closest to you. But those are the people who need to hear from you the most. In this episode, I'll share how our brains get in the way of our ability to communicate, and the simple steps you can take to have hard conversations. Pro tips: Figure out the best time and place. Try to talk face to face. Be brief and direct. Use "I" statements. Take a break if necessary. And remember they won't necessarily agree. But it sure feels good to get it out.  *Dr. Traci is a licensed psychologist, specialized in child, adolescent, and family psychology.
