Separate Judgement from Distinction.

You're a good person. You try not to judge people by their race, religion, sexual orientation, or other criteria. But oftentimes trying to avoid judgment also means avoiding distinction. Distinction is crucial for your ability to understand and be empathetic to the other. Avoiding distinction actually hurts your intimate relationships and lowers your ability to be empathetic to others. In this talk I explain why morphing judgment and distinction hurts your relationship and how you can change that. Examples are given from the clinic and my personal life. Practical tips are given how to reclaim distinction and labels in a respectful, generative way in your relationship. www.potentialstate.com https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-other-side-relationships https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXwdZhwQFgUcRQgZoI_L2Uw https://www.facebook.com/ThePotentialState https://twitter.com/assael Support the show
