Why You Hate Being Wrong (And What Really Matters Instead)

Think you hate admitting mistakes? Think again. Research reveals we don't actually fear being wrong - we fear being dismissed, attacked, or losing connection.  On this “Strong Mind, Strong Body,” discover hidden reasons people refuse to apologize, why "What's wrong with you?" destroys relationships, and the surprising truth about what people really need when they mess up.  Based on groundbreaking studies and clinical psychologist Harriet Lerner's acclaimed work, host Angie Miller will help you understand the power of authentic apologies and how psychological safety transforms mistakes into bridges rather than walls.  If you like what you just consumed, leave us a 5-star review, and share this episode with a friend to help grow our NASM health and wellness community!
