Logic vs Emotion: How to Balance Both in Communication: Episode 162

Logic vs Emotion: How to Balance Both in Communication: Episode 162

You know those moments when you're sharing your emotion, and your partner responds with logic? They might say "that's not how that happened, that doesn't make sense, or that wasn't my intention."

It can make you feel invalidated and misunderstood, which hurts because your partner is the one you should feel most understood by, right? You might feel that they don't listen to you and certainly that they don't understand you. Or even to the point where you feel that you just aren't on the same page.

Logic and emotion are both important in relationships and communication....but often at different times! It's important that you two discover how to balance both of them, and know when logic is needed vs emotional understanding.
