Healthy Communication: The Difference Between Responding vs. Reacting

In any long-lasting intimate relationship, especially a healthy one, both people in the relationship must learn healthy communication techniques. This is an extremely essential part of the relationship. If you have healthy communication, you can get through any hurdle in the way.

There is a strong difference between unhealthy communication and healthy communication, so I wanted to make this video for you to help you shift to a more healthier path if you are currently not on one, and most importantly, I want you to know WHY the path you're on is unhealthy. The more we learn about ourselves and why we do what we do, then the more conscious we become about making better and healthier choices.

Unhealthy Communication Skill: Reacting

Reacting has to do with an instant response. Usually we get triggered by something our partner says to us and we do a knee jerk reaction and say something back. Often times these times of reactions we do are not well thought out, and thus the person reacting ends up saying things or doing things that they often regret later as it often leads to a big fight. When we react to something, we are often giving away our power in the situation because we're operating from more of an emotional state and subconscious mind where we start pulling from assumptions or fear or anger, instead of pulling from a place of logic and reason.

Healthy Communication Skill: Responding

Responding includes a brief pause in between your partner's actions and your actions. Therefore a response is often slower than what a reaction would be. A response involves consideration and thoughtfulness. Not only does it take into account how you're feeling and thinking, but what your partner is thinking and feeling. And this is a HUGE relationship skill to be able to master.
