Justifying v Explaining Yourself When Your Partner Misunderstands You: Episode 170

Justifying v Explaining Yourself When Your Partner Misunderstands You: Episode 170

We received this question privately after the last podcast: "What is the difference between justifying and explaining, when you feel like your partner misread your intentions? Sometimes I feel like we're fighting over a version of me that doesn't feel true, and I can't tell if that's just me being defensive."

In this episode you will hear:

  • The subtle difference between justifying and explaining
  • The major difference between Intent vs Impact
  • 4 steps to explain yourself in a way that your partner can receive it
