Why Communication Skills Don't Work in Some Relationships

Описание: Communication skills are often treated as the solution to relationship problems—but for many people, they don’t work the way they’re promised to.
In this video, I explain why communication skills fail without emotional capacity, and why saying things “the right way” doesn’t always lead to connection in certain relationships—no matter how calm, thoughtful, or self-aware you are.

We’ll explore:
1. Why communication breaks down under emotional stress
2. How low emotional capacity creates defensiveness, shutdown, and conflict
3. Why tools like “I statements” and validation don’t override dysregulation
4. The difference between communication skills and emotional maturity
What actually needs to develop before communication can work

This video is especially relevant if you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “I said that perfectly—so why did it still fall apart?”

This video is part of the Developing Emotional Maturity series, which explores the internal capacities that shape how we communicate, relate, and handle conflict.
