563: Impact versus Intent

Welcome Brave Lovers! Have you ever said something to your partner that didn't land well? You backtrack and try to explain your intent but they are still hurting and now angry. If you have, then this episode is for you! Join our hosts, Laurie and George as they share what happens when the impact hits hard and the attempt to explain the intent falls flat. Listeners will learn how to hold both truths, have clean communication around the event and improve their timing. It's important to remember that even with good intentions your partner can still feel hurt. Acknowledging their hurt will move the conversation closer to connection while explanation will create disconnection.
