Do the opposite. See how your W reacts.


Ironman, are you talking 180?

If so, man, I have no idea. Communication has always been different in therapy versus at home. When we communicated at home, there were a ton of defenses that turned to arguments... and justifications. When we were in therapy, communication was awesome. Validation. True listening.

So 180 from the worst sparks was the communication from couples therapy sparks. Make sense?
