Why We Can't Talk

The biggest mistake is in believing there is one right way to listen, to talk, to have a conversation - or a relationship. Yet, everyday, people break up or exit the dating process because they can’t communicate. We have difficulties talking about politics and religion, not because they are highly emotionally charged issues, but because we simply do not know how to exchange and disagree with respect and without emotional dissonance. Situations can escalate to violence because buttons are pushed. In some situations, one person believes that they are without blame because of imaginary lines drawn between cursing with insults and insults without cursing, but there is very little difference between calling someone weak and stupid and telling someone to go to hell. This show will discuss why relationships are falling apart or failing to blossom--in many cases, it’s because we simply can’t talk to each other. Co-hosts Trey Whitaker and Demetria Richardson.
