“Handle the emotion first, then talk…” Part of an occasional series about phrases that this therapist finds himself repeating, often.

A reading from a recent Medium post titled “Handle the emotion first, then talk…” Part of an occasional series about phrases that this therapist finds himself repeating, often. In this episode, I talk about the error a lot of us make in trying to rationalize with an emotion, in other words a physiological state. It is better to soothe and calm first, then talk. That can apply to all sorts of relationships.
