It teaches clear ways to state needs, listen without escalating, and set limits that protect emotional space. This work supports people who want better conversations with partners or family members.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will ask about current struggles, goals, and what feels doable in day-to-day life. This collaborative exploration helps shape which techniques are used and how quickly new skills are practiced.
