How directly do I ask for what I want and need? What can I do to be more direct in my communication? If I hear a hidden meaning in a statement or question, do I ask for clarification before acting on my assumptions? Do I perceive criticism in my partner's statements even if they aren't directly critical? What do I do to check in with my partners? How well do I listen to my partners? What do I do to make sure it's safe for my partners to communicate with me, and to let them know it's safe? Does my communication show that I take responsibility for my actions and emotions?
