Roadblocks to Communication by Judith Belmont
Communication is complex. We all have had forms of communication modeled to us as children. As adults, we begin to learn what does and does not work for us in our different types of relationships/settings. These videos provide explanation of habits we may have in our communication style that stops the speaker from sharing or turns the focus away from the speaker. Taking a look at and sifting away from Roadblocks to Communication, can help us to further connect with others.

Why Does My Therapist Do That?
These videos provide answers to some complaints and questions loved ones and clients have had about the therapeutic process. I do not represent all therapists. These videos do not replace ethical Treatment Goals. I hope this helps to bridge understanding about therapy & remove mental health stigma. Click on below links to watch the videos. These & other resources are also posted on the Firefly Counseling NC Facebook page.
