Episode notes
What New Information Shock Is
- New information shock is when unexpected news reads as a threat and triggers an upset reaction.
- The upset is about both the content and the body's threat response, not just the facts.
Jordan And Tina Example
- Jordan tells Tina about a new potential partner and Tina flips out because the news feels destabilizing.
- Jordan feels they shared reasonably but both end up upset about the timing and delivery.
Agree How To Share Difficult News
- Ask your partner how they prefer to receive difficult news and make a sharing plan before it happens.
- Clarify whether they want to process with you in real time or digest asynchronously and then talk.
