Circular Communication

Circular communication is a conversational style where participants continuously influence and respond to each other, creating a feedback loop. Instead of linear exchanges where one person speaks and another listens, circular communication emphasizes the interconnectedness of everyone involved. It recognizes that messages are shaped by the relationships, emotions, and context of all participants, leading to a more dynamic and nuanced interaction. This approach is often used in family therapy, management, and conflict resolution to foster understanding and collaboration by viewing communication as a shared, ongoing process rather than a one-way transmission.
