Listen "Relating vs. Being Right — Understanding Their Map"
Episode Synopsis
Why do so many conversations with people we care about spiral into arguments? Often it’s because we’re focused on being right instead of relating.In this episode of Couples in Focus, I unpack the difference between proving your point and stepping into someone else’s “map” — their inner world of experiences, feelings, and beliefs. You’ll hear real-life examples of how shifting from defensiveness to curiosity can transform conflicts into moments of connection, whether with a partner, friend, coworker, or family member.We’ll explore why relating builds trust and emotional safety, and I’ll share practical tools you can use to pause, listen, and connect without losing yourself in the process.For more on relationships and therapy, visit coupletherapy.earth.
