"Hi, I'm Patti German and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist here in New York City. In this clip, we are going to talk about how to fix communication problems. The most important part of communicating is to learn to be a very good listener. Part of what happens in relationships is people start yelling at each other and no one can hear anything when you are being yelled at. So, to understand what communication is, is to really hear what someone is talking about, and where it's coming from within them. Is it coming from a place of anger? Is it a place of fear? Is it a place of jealousy? And to really hear what's underneath the words. Communication is about hearing and listening. And after you here what someone-- what your partner is trying to say, then you have to understand what's happening to you when you hear it. Are you feeling attacked? Are you feeling blamed? So, in communication, the most important thing is to become a very good listener. Again, this is Patti German in New York City."
