Communication theory

And then the next, you know, step I'd add there is being, and that's that embodied piece of it where you are able to change the moment in the moment.

You know, I can think back to, again, those, these, you know, intro to interpersonal communication, communication theory, small group communication.

Not, you know, I'm having all these different classes where we're, there's textbooks and we're, we're talking about these things, and we are talking about practical applications of things, but it's deeply theoretical, and it instantly makes sense to me because, you know, it's not, if I went and sat in a, you know, accounting class or, or, or some sciences class, I would've been like, "Whoa, these are brand-new concepts.

I gotta try to wrap, wrap my head around and understand." Had a totally different learning experience in my interpersonal communication world because it was less of, "Oh, that's brand new," and more of, "Oh, yes, I know exactly what you're talking about." What's new here is the language, but as you're describing the dynamics that happen in relationships, the c- the way we approach conflict, I immediately have reference points, and I, I think that would've been most people's experiences because we all communicate every day.

Yep, right here.

It's the one textbook I ever bought instead of rented at school.
