Here is another bonus episode from the beginning of Therapists' Take when it was a LIVE show only and not a podcast. Hope you enjoy!

Communication is easy! We all do it whether we are intentional with it or unintentional. We are always saying something even if we are saying nothing. The challenge with communication is learning to be effective in it, which is easier said than done.

In this episode of Therapists’ Take, licensed therapists take on one of the most fundamental elements and challenges to human existence as they tackle what it means to be an effective communicator.

Quotes from the Show:

"One cannot not communicate." - Paul Watzlawick

"You say it best when you say nothing at all." - Alison Krauss
