Dear Dr. Tracy The “I Guess I’ll Never…” Trap – Breaking Free from All-or-Nothing Thinking
What do you do when a partner replies with “Well, I guess I’ll just never … again” after you share something with them?
In this episode, Dr. Tracy and her co-host Greg answer this question and talk about how to respond to a partner’s "all or nothing" statement in response to a concern raised. Dr. Tracy talks about the underlying emotion in this expression, provides strategies for having a constructive conversation in that situation, and how to break out of this tricky cycle that stops couples from feeling close and connected.
