Lost in Translation From What's Said to What's Heard: Preventing Misunderstandings and Conflicts: Episode 349

Lost in Translation From What's Said to What's Heard: Preventing Misunderstandings and Conflicts: Episode 349

Many communications between couples can cause misunderstandings. This leads to more expectations and further frustrations and upsets. Then these upsets can turn into conflicts. Though it seems simple to just "listen better", listening is not the same as hearing.

Listening is the requirement for understanding, but even then, it does not guarantee complete and accurate understanding of what was actually meant by your partner.

Though much of this has to do with the listener's role, there is also much to say about the speaker and how they deliver the message so as to not create mistranslations.

In this episode you will hear:

  • Mistakes the speaker makes

  • Mistakes the listener makes

  • 5 tips for more productive conversations

  • Plus the psychology principles that can prevent communications from being misunderstood or turning into conflicts.
