Understand how you naturally communicate so that you can develop healthy, authentic relationships. . . one conversation at a time.
Most communication breakdowns happen not because people fail at communicating, but because they react from deeply formed patterns that they don't understand or don't have language for. If you keep having the same conversations with the same results, if you feel misunderstood or unheard, if conflict keeps showing up despite good intentions, the path forward isn't to have more empathy or better boundaries.
It starts with understanding yourself.
In this practical guide, therapist and communication expert Jason VanRuler will help you:
- Understand how you uniquely communicate with a clear assessment of each of the types and what they mean.
- See the patterns you default to when you’re under pressure so that you can recognize how miscommunications happen.
- Respond with intention and clarity so that you can begin to develop trust at home and work.
Discovering Your Communication Type provides you with the knowledge you need to understand what's happening in real time so that you can communicate with less defensiveness and confusion and more honesty, connection, and peace.
