Kids and adults communicate to fill (reduce) two to six concurrent needs (discomforts). Each communication partner (usually) needs to feel respec-ted enough and one or more of the five needs below. In conversation, these six needs can vary dynamically, and may match (OK or ?) or conflict (X). If they conflict, the odds for effective communication plummet. Mutual aware-ness of these needs in important communications can help partners fill (a) them and (b) the primary needs that cause them - if their true Selves guide their personalities. Use metatalk and six other Project-2 skills to harmonize your communication (and other) needs!
