About this listen

This episode explores the powerful concept of connecting our feelings to underlying needs and how to navigate receiving difficult messages. It’s explained that while others' words may be a stimulus, our feelings stem from how we interpret them and our own needs.

The discussion delves into the four choices we have when responding to challenging messages: hearing blame and focusing on what's wrong with the speaker, hearing blame and focusing on what's wrong with ourselves, recognizing our own feelings and needs, or identifying the speaker's feelings and needs.

Through examples and role-playing, the episode illustrates how to effectively apply these principles in personal and professional settings, ultimately fostering greater understanding and connection.
