Deconstructing Trash Talk
from Faithfully Departed: transforming life's wounds into wisdom with a pastor and a therapist · host David Profitt & Sophie Murphy
In this episode, David and Sophie unpack "trash talk" and the negativity that often shows up online and on social media. It can also surface closer to home such as during a family dinner over the holidays. They explore what may lie behind the impulse to troll others, but they focus even more on how we respond. How do we make sense of it. How do we engage without being pulled into retaliation. And how do we navigate negative people in our lives with wisdom and restraint.
