Episode notes
Asking Questions in Relationships
- Ask questions rooted in curiosity and conviction, such as "What's our biggest challenge?"
- Avoid accusatory questions like "Why do we lack trust?", which create conflict.
Arbiters of Truth
- Making oneself the arbiter of truth, where one's words define truth, damages relationships.
- Instead, strive to express an external truth, acknowledging individual perspectives.
Subjective vs. Objective Truth
- State your experience and feelings without claiming objective truth.
- Focus on how to address the issue, not on arguing about whose perspective is "right".
