How can I communicate my emotions better?

It's great that you want to improve your emotional communication! What specific emotions are you struggling to express?

I often find it hard to express sadness without feeling vulnerable.

Feeling vulnerable is completely normal. You might try using 'I' statements, like 'I feel sad when...' to express your feelings.

That makes sense. How can I encourage others to share their emotions with me?

Creating a safe space is key. You can start by sharing your own feelings and showing empathy when they open up.

Thanks! Any tips for dealing with emotional responses during tough conversations?

Absolutely! Take deep breaths, pause before responding, and focus on listening actively to the other person.
