Transform Your Conversations with "I" Statements.
🗣️One of the most powerful tools for healthy communication? The simple shift from "you" to "I."
When we use "I" statements, we take ownership of our feelings and experiences without placing blame. Instead of: "You never listen to me" Try : "I feel unheard when you interrupt me."

Using I statements creates space for understanding instead defensiveness. This small change can make a big difference in your relationships with partners, family, friends, or colleagues.
