Speak your truth to be heard.
Written by Sophie Parienti
I am 100% routing for authenticity and telling our truth as long as it is acceptable. Acceptance means a truth that excludes any judgment, desire to hurt, take control of the other person, etc.
Yes, the truth is good to tell as long as it reflects a personal, intimate, and deep feeling devoided of biased intention. And I recommend it all the more because I consider it essential to healthy and lasting relationships, and I attribute it a definite therapeutic power!
- To speak about your feelings, fragilities, and deepest joys guarantees all intimacy necessary to a friendship and indispensable to a love relationship.
- Telling your ultimate truth, the one that speaks of your difficulties or inner blocks is an effective way to dissolve them and allows you to be genuinely yourself.
When you allow yourself to embody authenticity by expressing your truth daily, you let it become an unconscious communication habit. Your relationship with others changes for the better, and your happiness increases.
In my coaching sessions, however, I can witness how speaking authentically is not always easy for my clients. They are often fearful of hurting their partner or concerned that something will drastically change in their life if they open up freely, so they refrain.
I understand that it takes courage to open up and be honest with yourself and others, but it also takes skills; communication skills. Once you have acquired the tools necessary to feel more confident opening up to your partner, it becomes easier each time.
To safely express yourself authentically and create a new dynamic in your relationship, my husband and I have designed a specific course called Transformative Communication Course for Better Relationships. To encourage you to speak your truth and do it skillfully is how I can best support you.
Who could you be if you could authentically express your limitations, fears, and concerns? You would most likely be free to experience relief and a form of freedom that would bring you immense inner joy.
