Talk to Me: Communication Skills for Emotionally Healthy Couples

Every couple knows the frustration of being misunderstood. But what if the real issue isn't what you say, but how you listen? In Talk to Me, Priya Anand Rao offers a compassionate, evidence-informed guide to building the communication habits that underpin emotionally healthy partnerships. Drawing on decades of relationship research reviewed by leading institutions, Rao distills complex ideas into practical, everyday skills. You'll learn to identify the four common communication traps that drain intimacy, replace criticism with clear requests, and turn difficult conversations into opportunities for deeper connection. The book walks you through active listening techniques that go beyond nodding, shows how to express vulnerability without fear, and offers a simple framework for repairing after a painful exchange. Each chapter includes real-life examples and gentle exercises you can try together or alone. Whether you are newly together or decades in, these tools will help you speak honestly, hear generously, and grow closer. Part of The Sagewell Wellness Library.
