Do You Want to Win Your Case or Feel Heard? In Episode 70, of the Divorce University Online Podcast, we discuss our human desire to feel heard and understand which unfortunately, does not necessarily help us win our Court case. The Court approaches our case from a very logical perspective that applies the law without emotion. We typically have a completely emotional approach. When we proceed from emotion, one of two things happen, we either lose our case or the Court cuts us off and won't let us express our emotions. Even when people "win" they are often upset if they don't feel like the Judge "listened" to them. Understanding this concept is critical to winning in Court.
