Episode notes
Guilt Vs. Values Mismatch
- People often say “I feel guilty” when they actually regret acting against their values, not when they uphold them.
- Taking on others' emotions after you act according to your values creates false guilt and confusion.
Acknowledge Without Absorbing
- Honor others' feelings without making them yours by acknowledging disappointment but standing firm on your value-driven choice.
- Use calm validation like “I understand why you're upset” instead of absorbing their emotion.
Expect Negative Reactions, Stay Firm
- When delivering bad news (denials, firings, no promotion), expect anger or sadness and don't assume immediate acceptance.
- Stand firm, explain the values behind the decision, and resist second-guessing when met with predictable upset.
