13: The Nuances of Emotion vs. Perception in Communication

Speak Honest: Relationship advice for women who are struggling with heartbreak, attachment styles, & trauma

Are you constantly sharing your "feelings" with your partner, but find they seem overwhelmed and shut down every time you do? Maybe it's not your feelings you're sharing—it could be your perceptions. This episode unravels the subtle yet significant differences between emotions and perceptions and their impact on communication. Discover how to clearly articulate true emotions and understand the real messages behind what you and others say, avoiding the pitfalls of miscommunication and misunderstanding.

This episode is for you if:

• The harder you try to be vulnerable, the worse it gets.
