Dr. Patrician Timmerman and the Intention Action Perception (IAP) model

In this episode of the Relationship Revival podcast, Dr. Jon Dabach welcomes back Dr. T, who introduces a groundbreaking relationship model called the Intention-Action-Perception (IAP) framework. Dr. T discusses the inspiration behind the IAP model and how it evolved through personal experiences and years of counseling practice. This insightful conversation delves into the ways our intentions can be misinterpreted in relationships due to differing perceptions, and the importance of clear communication. Dr. T highlights strategies that couples can use to improve understanding and resolve conflicts, focusing on techniques like the preamble, instructive compliments, and the rule of three interpretations.

Dr. T also shares insights from her upcoming book, Why Are We Fighting? Actionable Strategies for Effective Communication, which expands on the IAP model. The book provides practical tools and worksheets to help couples navigate their communication challenges and foster healthier relationships. Throughout the episode, both Dr. Dabach and Dr. T offer tangible advice that listeners can implement in their own relationships, emphasizing the need for intentional communication and empathy.
