How the Stories You Tell Yourself Can Wreck a Relationship, and How to Fix it

In this short episode, I take a serious look at how the explanations we have for other people’s behaviour can wreck our peace of mind, and our relationships. You’ll hear how a single, emotionally charged explanation can take over your thinking, make you ruminate, and turn minor conflicts into major problems.

The episode offers a foolproof yet powerful technique to free you from these distorted explanations by generating alternative explanations. This is not about excusing bad behaviour, its about setting you free from the limitations of a harmful and distorted style of thinking by developing mental flexibility. It’s a simple way to a single, toxic idea from running your life.
