7.8 Finding Right in Relationship

Show Notes

When both of you want to be right, the discussion can become an endless loop as well as an ego battle. This is where the concept of ‘right relationship’ can help.

Host Katie Churchman and Sandra Cain discuss the dilemma of wanting to be right versus being in relationship. They consider why finding right is an active process that can de-escalate conflicts and improve communication.

The two discuss:

  • the tension between wanting to be right and the importance of being in relationship.
  • our very human desire to be validated, as well as understood.
  • that we often seek certainty by thinking in terms of right/wrong, rather than exploring nuance.
  • the importance of active listening, reflecting back what’s heard, and acknowledging the other person’s intention.
  • how finding something to agree with in another perspective can change the whole conversation.
