Episode 316: Talking is overrated

This might sound odd coming from a therapist, but talking --
especially in the context of intimate relationships -- is
overrated. While talking is the most effective strategy for
dealing with some issues (e.g., logistics), it is woefully
inadequate for solving most of the problems encountered in
relationships. In fact, to the extent that talking changes
behavior, this is often due to the punitive nature of talking, as
opposed to the understanding that talking seems to provide.
Furthermore, nearly everything that people seek out in their
relationships can be communicated non-verbally.
