To be able to communicate effectively, you need to be honest and open about your feelings, needs and ideas, whilst also accepting, respecting and supporting the other person. Empathise with the person by trying to imagine how they must be feeling – which may be different to how you would feel in the same situation. This may help you to hear and understand the problem from other person’s perspective.
We do not always have to agree with each other; what makes us so unique as human beings is that we all see things differently and this is part of what makes our relationships precious. Relationships are about learning how to nurture and love ourselves as well as others. In order to take care of yourself, you must be responsible for your own needs and set your own personal boundaries.
The collaborative problem-solving steps:
•Define the problem in terms of the needs of both parties.
•Brainstorming, develop possible solutions together.
•Break up the problem in smaller and more manageable portions.
•Find best alternatives and make a decision.
•Evaluate how well the solution turned out.
When feeling are expressed, heard and accepted by another person, then individuals can discuss their differences more productively. Once the emotions have subsided, problems can be solved by the collaborative problem solving skills.
