147: Are You the Problem? How to Communicate With Your Partner

In this episode, Professor AG talks about the ways our own thoughts can impact our relationships, especially when it comes to communication, resentment, and conflict. She shares nine common toxic thought patterns that can cause us to assume the worst, read our partner’s mind, jump to conclusions, or turn one small moment into a bigger story. AG talks about how to recognize when your brain is filling in the gaps, regulate yourself before reacting, take accountability for your own emotions, and communicate what you actually need instead of holding onto resentment. Because sometimes the problem isn’t just what happened, but the story we created around it. Credit to Why Can't You Read My Mind?
