Stop Trying To Be Understood

Episode 1650 Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Most of us spend a huge amount of our lives trying to make people understand us. The long explanation. The third re-phrase. The 3am perfect sentence. The screenshot we send to a friend. The argument we have with our partner for the fifth time.
 
We think we're looking for resolution. We're actually looking for something else. And in this episode, Monique names it — and offers a way to put it down that will quietly change your relationships and your nervous system at the same time.
 
In this episode:
— The hidden hunger underneath the constant need to be understood
— Why even when people finally agree, the relief only lasts an hour
— Why some people in your life are simply not built to see what you see — and why that doesn't mean the relationship is broken
— A small, surprisingly powerful practice for witnessing yourself before you go hunting for one outside
