Nuance in Relationship Communication
Nuance in Communication: Understanding the strengths and challenges in your communication with your partner
Written by Therapinay Team
Good communication in a relationship involves both partners sharing thoughts and feelings openly and honestly. But communication doesn’t always involve words. 👀
Every day, we choose to speak with our partners with our voice, eyes, body language, and actions. How can we harness the subtleties in communication to build stronger relationships?
On October 12th, Monica Ramil LMFT, joins Therapinay in hosting Boo’ed Up, an event designed to strengthen relationships and keep sparks flying. The event will include Monica’s workshop, Spoken & Unspoken: Nuance in Communication where partners will learn:
How subtleties in communication can make you more or less open to taking your partner’s message in
Vocabulary to more accurately communicate your needs and better understand your partner
How to help your partner feel seen while also motivating them to grow in the relationship with you

Who is Monica Ramil, LMFT
Monica Ramil is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Francisco, CA (Ramaytush Ohlone Land). She takes a warm and curious, compassionate and direct approach to helping women and couples work through communication, family/relationship wounds, anxiety, self-defeating thoughts and old patterns. As the daughter of FIlipino immigrants, Monica understands the struggle and confusion that comes from trying to navigate different cultures often with conflicting values which makes her workshop perfect for Filipino immigrants, children of Filipino immigrants, and couples of mixed cultures.
“I also witnessed so much of my family’s unaddressed wounding. The bottling up. The silent suffering. Even the martyrdom. Whole traumas and years of pain were tucked away only to leak out in unproductive ways. Defensiveness. Narcissism. Sibling comparisons. Rigid and toxic gender roles. Spiritual bypassing. Warped definitions and displays of love. Things that were largely unconscious because the focus was on providing for our basic needs. This template for interpersonal relationships didn’t make for healthy, trusting, open connections and consequently, my relationships were rife with undertones of distrust,” says Monica.
Her personal life experience in combination with years of professional experience working with couples puts Monica in a unique position to help your relationship grow.
