Is there someone in your life who, every time you see or think about them, all you want to say is "Ugh"? Or you feel like rolling your eyes every time they say something? It might be a coworker, a sibling, even a romantic partner. And if you thought of someone, it's likely the thing you're feeling toward them is contempt. In the last official episode of season 4, our hosts talk about the poisonous nature of contempt and how it sneaks into our relationships, oftentimes without us realizing it. We propose some healthy antidotes, per the Gottman Institute, and chart a path forward for all of us to pursue healthier relationships.
