How can we help you have better interpersonal relationships?

One word can change the whole outcome of a situation, one word can take a good scenario to an undesirable scenario. So it is very important to keep calm and know how to handle each situation accordingly.

We use a short-term, solution-focused approach. In the first session, we can identify the problem, in this case, your interpersonal relationships problem, problems with communication, listening skills, identifying and using feeling words, among other problems you may have. Our therapists will go through different scenarios and teach you the appropriate way to handle each one.

Different type of statements

People tend to communicate using the word “you”, however, this word is often accusative. Making people feel defensive, guilty, as if their needs are not important, making them reluctant to go along with any solutions or changes you may have in mind.

Using the word “I” changes the tone from accusative to more trustful and understanding. Try using “I” statements followed by a “you” statement. For example, say, “I feel sad when you leave.” instead of saying, “You always leave me.” If you’d like to know more examples and learn how to handle situations better, come visit us!
