Ep. 6 | How To Talk So Non-Neurotics Will Listen

Lost in emotional translation, but eager to decode feelings.

When big feelings are a significant feature of your personality, how do you understand the people in your life who experience their emotions differently than you do?

Is it possible to learn how to communicate better so they can better understand your emotional ways?

In this episode of Interfering Neurotic, Dr. Ash King and I chat about:

  • The need for role models who feel their big feelings effectively

  • Two non-threatening questions to ask the non-neurotics in your life when you’re tearing your hair out trying to decipher their emotional clues

  • The illusion of empathy and how making assumptions about other people’s emotional states can be a slippery slope

  • The messes we create when fueled by our desire for resolution and learning to sit with uncertainty instead
