Your communication style reveals your relational blueprint
The way you communicate in a relationship is not neutral: it is conditioned by your attachment style, your defensive roles, your past wounds, and your level of emotional regulation. Sub-block E1 maps this style with precision: how you express your needs, negotiate boundaries, manage conflict, and use silence, distance, or over-explaining as relational strategies.
The Four Communication Styles
- Passive: yields their needs to avoid conflict. The cost: accumulation of resentment.
- Aggressive: imposes their needs without considering the other's. The cost: relationships based on fear.
- Passive-aggressive: expresses needs indirectly (irony, silence, sabotage). The cost: chronic mistrust.
- Assertive: communicates with clarity and respect. The target to aim for: rarely natural, always buildable.
