Communication Patterns
The repeated ways people tend to talk, react, listen, and disconnect in relationships.
Details
Communication patterns are the habits that show up again and again in how people relate to each other. Some patterns bring people closer, like listening, expressing feelings clearly, and repairing after conflict. Others create distance, like criticism, defensiveness, contempt, or shutting down. Because these patterns often become automatic, many people do not notice them until the same arguments keep repeating. Recognizing the pattern is often the first step toward changing it.
💡 Real-Life Example
In a couple, one person raises a concern, the other immediately gets defensive, and the conversation ends the same way every time.
