Addressing Conflict in Friendship

In this episode of Couch Talks on Uni Therapy Podcast, the host, Kat, discusses how to handle a friendship that is causing discomfort. The listener describes a friend who makes insensitive comments and fails to celebrate their achievements. Kat suggests addressing these comments by seeking clarity in the moment, asking for an explanation to understand the friend's intentions. By doing so, the listener allows the friend to take responsibility for their remarks and offers an opportunity for the friend to apologize or clarify their statements. This approach empowers the listener to assert their feelings and evaluate the future of the friendship based on the friend's response.
