Doing so encourages a more supportive and less judgmental atmosphere and allows relationships to thrive in a healthier, more balanced manner.

Consider  what’s not being addressed. An emotionally available person addresses conflicts directly and constructively. They are open to compromise and finding solutions together. If it upsets you when they leave their bathroom towel on the floor, they’ll talk to you about it and figure out a solution collaboratively that works for both of you.
