Episode notes
When Conversations Shift Tracks
- Switchtracking happens when partners emotionally shift conversations onto different tracks and end up talking past each other.
- Awareness of this dynamic reveals why both partners feel unheard during recurring conflicts.
Dinner Table Argument Example
- A kitchen-table scene shows one partner complaining about quality time while the other responds about being unappreciated.
- The scene illustrates both people arguing different issues and thus talking past one another.
Pause And List Topics To Recenter
- Practice mindfulness and bias recognition to catch switchtracking in the moment.
- Pause, name the different topics, and make a short list so you can address each one systematically.
