Don’t: Avoid the hard topics
Here’s one way to enter into conversations around sex, money, or whatever is the issue for you: Pick up a copy of a book that has been recommended by someone you trust, and read through the chapters together.
For sex and money, for example, our research findings in each chapter of the books I just mentioned are great jumping off points for conversation. Reading through a book together helps you to be curious, with questions like:
- Is this how you feel?
- Is there something that you really wish I knew?
- How can I reassure you in this area?
