How to admit you're wrong and not destroy good relationships

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, breakthrough coach Rebecca Gillis breaks down what's really happening in your nervous system when you're locked in a conflict and can't admit fault — especially when part of you knows you played a role. If you've ever found yourself rehearsing arguments in your head, losing sleep over a disagreement, or doubling down when you know something's off, this episode is for you.Rebecca walks you through why our brains default to blame, what fear is actually driving your defense, and — most importantly — how to start finding real freedom from conflict. The answer? It starts with you, not them.In this episode, you'll learn:Why conflict triggers a survival response — even over seemingly small thingsHow unaddressed resentments snowball over time The "Yeah, but" trap and how to use it as a diagnostic toolWhy admitting your part actually builds self-esteem instead of destroying itHow assumptions and spending time "in other people's heads" keep you in a state of anxietyThe connection between pride, self-esteem, and how much other people's opinions affect youWhy vulnerability is the only real path to resolution — and why we avoid itThe St. Francis Prayer line that changes everything: to understand rather than to be understoodKey takeaways:When you're in a conflict, the first stop is always yourself — not the other personFear of being wrong is really a fear of being exposed, humiliated, or kicked out of the groupYou can't fault-find and empathize at the same time — you have to put your weapons down firstAcknowledging your part in something doesn't let the other person off the hook — these are separate thingsSpeaking in absolutes ("I'm never talking to them again") is a signal to check in with yourselfYour self-esteem is what you think of yourself — and no one else can take that from youMentioned in this episode:Jeff Hayward, author of Simple Sh!t for Complicated People (Season 2, previous episode)The St. Francis PrayerConnect with Rebecca:Book a free breakthrough call: hellhappinessrepeat.comInstagram: @hellhappinessrepeatFacebook CommuJoin us for a new episode each week!
