Logic vs Emotion: How to Balance Both in Communication: Episode 162

Published: June 1, 2021, 6 a.m.

You know those moments when you're sharing your emotion, and your partner responds with logic? They might say \u201cthat\u2019s not how that happened, that doesn\u2019t make sense, or that wasn\u2019t my intention.\u201d\xa0

It can make you feel invalidated and\xa0 misunderstood, which hurts because your partner is the one you should feel most understood by, right? You might feel that they don\u2019t listen to you and certainly that they don\u2019t understand you. Or even to the point where you feel that you just aren\u2019t on the same page.\xa0

Logic and emotion are both important in relationships and communication....but often at different times! It's important that you two discover how to balance both of them, and know when logic is needed vs emotional understanding.
