Get to the Point

We say we "over-explain" like it's a flaw.Like we just talk too much.Like we don't know how to be concise.But what if that didn't start as a personality trait?What if it started as a strategy—to be understood before being misunderstood, to stay out of trouble, or to feel safe?In this episode, we get into where that comes from, what it costs, and why some people require a whole explanation...while others don't.Because at some point, it stops being about communication—and starts being about who you're talking to.Content warning: This episode discusses trauma, including abuse and exploitation, and how those experiences shape communication patterns and feelings of safety.
