260. What to Do When You Can’t Get Through to Them


Listen Later

Do you have that person in your life who, no matter what you do, you can’t seem to get through to them or get them to listen or engage in a healthy conversation about issues you’re experiencing in the relationship? You try to say how you’re feeling, but they flip it back on you and say, “What about my feelings?!” You get sad, but they get even more sad that you’re upset and now you’re taking care of them instead of them taking care of you?! These are all signs of a common defense mechanism called deflection. Today, I’m going to teach you all about deflection and my steps for finally connecting.  __________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/what-to-do-when-you-cant-get-through-to-them Grab my FREE I Feel Formula: https://abbymedcalf.com/i-feel-formula  ____________________________
