Understanding these different ways of expressing love can help us communicate more effectively and feel more loved and appreciated in their relationships.

One common mistake we do is try and show love to people the way we want to be loved. This can be for our children or adults around us.

For example... Making tea may be our love language to the other person but the other person is happy sharing the responsibility of tea and just would rather physical hug and a verbal compliment.

Ask yourself what do I really need and what does the other person need? What can we do differently together?

# data[].attributes.body
It can be difficult to talk about things that are bothering you but it is important to keep communication going.

When we interact with others their words and behaviour will make us think and feel things that will trigger by our past or present experiences.

For example, we may see a person looking repeatedly at their mobile phone when we are spending time together. If you have had past experiences with this or have feelings of being ‘taken for granted or ignored’, then this behaviour may cause you to become angry, criticise, become defensive or ignore that person. These underlying feelings and behaviours can result in a negative cycle, if you do not address the issue.

Try and get into the habit of thinking about how someone's behaviour or communication makes you feel, being honest about that feeling and then explaining why you have reacted in the way you have at the time. You can apply this process to any issue you have with anyone. This is about explaining how you feel. This will begin the process of resolving the conflict, by allowing each of you to see the other’s perspective

We often can use these unhealthy habits to provide quick, temporary, relief, but they fail to address the underlying stressors and can lead to negative long-term consequences.

It is important to remember if supporting any person or yourself to change it will take time, understanding and often accessing support groups or the GP.

Remember pointing out the problem over and over or trying to tell them what to do, could make the situation worse. Sitting with that person to understand the underlying stress can start help.

For the science behind stress and the effect it has on our brain listen to this Tedtalk.. click here

Look out for these signs in your self or people around you.

Make sure you deal with stress first before having important conversations.

# data[].attributes.body
Be active Exercise won't make your stress disappear, but it can reduce some of the emotional intensity and let you deal with your problems more calmly.

Take control - If you think you cannot do anything about your problem, your stress can get worse.

Connect with people -A good support network of colleagues, friends and family can ease your work troubles and help you see things in a different way.

Have some "me time". Something small, cup of tea, a walk with children

Challenge yourself -Setting yourself realistic goals and challenges, whether at work or outside, such as learning a new language or a new sport, can help build confidence. This may help you deal with stress.

It can also make you want to do things and be active.

Help other people -Evidence shows that people who help others, through activities such as volunteering or community work, often become more resilient.

Try to be positive -Look for the positives in life, and things for which you're grateful. Try writing down 3 things that went well, or for which you're grateful, at the end of every day. Don’t made it hard.. be thankful for your feet, your surroundings, think what you have.

Everyone in a relationship disagrees sometimes. But when you’re hearing your parents or carers argue, it can make you worried that they might split up.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans have a tendency to make everything about us. Our brains tell us something different to what has been said, it can cause miss communication and resentment.

It is important to not be defensive, stop breath and respond by clarifying what you have heard. Check your thoughts are real.

If you heard one of the examples above, how could you respond to the speaker to tell them what you heard and check what they mean?

Often you can react to things differently when your stressed about something. It is important you stop and understand, What else is going on for them?

Ravi and Amrita are both worried about money, you first see a heated argument that does not get resolved, then we watch how they do things differently, to resolve the argument, by listening to, what's really going on for each other?

# data[].attributes.body
Have you ever found yourself listening to someone, but instead of really hearing them, you're just thinking about what you're going to say next?

This can also happen when we've had a disagreement with someone who isn't around—maybe they're at school or work. We start imagining how the conversation might go when we see them again, rehearsing lines in our heads like, “If they say this, then I’ll say that…”

These habits can be unhelpful. They often stop us from truly listening in the moment and can drain our energy—especially when the conversation doesn’t go the way we imagined

The stuff you bring with you?

You are largely influenced by your past experiences the ‘stuff’ you bring with you, such as:

• The culture, environment and community you have lived in

• The way you were parented, your morals and values

• Your genetic make-up, your personality

• Your past relationships - romantic and family

What is a major stress?

Moving house, death, birth of baby, birthdays, loosing job, diagnosis or medical issue

What are daily hassles?

shopping, children, washing, work, bills, getting children to school, weather, car, making plans with friend, keeping up with messages, making appointments.

Can you think of daily stresses for our children? Keeping up with social media, looking good, homework, being liked, money, worrying about arguments, or parents separating, food, pleasing parents, not having freedom and lack of choice.

'We tend to recognise Major stresses more.'

We show we care by sending flowers, visiting, checking if your okay, getting supportive social media messages.

If we pay more attention to daily stresses it can help stop them from becoming something bigger, something that may become blown out of proportion or harder to resolve. Then these daily stresses build up and we can not always able to get to the route of the problem.

Notice how we cant always remove the nail and often we do not want to. Using the skill of emotional support may not solve the problem but it makes us feel happier and strengthens our relationship and understanding about each other. Once people feel safe that you will be there emotionally for them it is easier to accept or ask for the practical support you need, as this is important to have too.

Emotional impact

The silent treatment can cause negative emotions like anger, frustration, fear, despair, and confusion. It can also lead to feelings of self-doubt.

Relationship damage

The silent treatment can cause broken trust, resentment, and decreased intimacy. It can also lead to people behaving in ways they feel aren't fair, such as taking on other people's responsibilities or making unnecessary apologies.

Manipulation

The silent treatment can be a manipulation tactic used to establish power over someone, cut off meaningful conversations, and stop the flow of information.

Lower self-esteem

People who regularly feel ignored may have lower levels of self-esteem, belonging, and meaning in their lives.

We will look at the importance of keeping conversation going and ways to communicate in the following sections

Accepting that we are all different can be challenging as deep down we truly believe the way we do things is best.

We need to be able to talk about our sensory needs understand and embrace those differences. It can be the first step toward feeling better.

Sensory differences can have a major impact on relationships, influencing social interaction, intimacy, and overall satisfaction.

Vestibular (Balance): This sense helps us maintain balance and spatial orientation, allowing us to know our body's position in relation to gravity.
Proprioception (Body Awareness): This sense provides information about the position and movement of our body parts, even without looking.
Interoception (Internal Body Awareness): This sense allows us to perceive internal sensations like hunger, thirst, pain, the need to use the toilet, and changes in heart rate or body temperature

The Dash risk checklist is used by Idvas and other frontline professionals to identify and assess risks when a potential victim discloses domestic abuse, 'honour'- based violence or stalking.

The questions in the Dash risk checklist are based on extensive research about domestic abuse.

The Dash risk checklist aims to enable frontline professionals and Marac practitioners to identify high risk cases and decide which cases should be referred to Marac and what other support might be required.

A completed Dash risk checklist becomes an active record that can be referred to in the future for case management. It offers a common tool for agencies that are part of the Marac process and provides a shared understanding of risk in relation to domestic abuse, stalking and 'honour'-based violence. The checklist ensures that assessments made about high risk cases are defensible and based on evidence from extensive research.

We strongly recommend that you read the practice guidance and FAQs resource before using the Dash risk checklist.

We also recommend that you review the checklist after a new incident as risk is dynamic and can change very quickly.

Different language versions of the Dash risk checklist

The Dash risk checklist is available to download in several languages:
