Episode 4 – "Don’t Take This the Wrong Way, But..."
In this episode, we unpack the loaded phrase: “Don’t take this the wrong way, but…” — a common preface that often signals miscommunication, hidden tension, or unresolved conflict. We explore the psychology behind why people use it: to soften criticism, avoid confrontation, or navigate difficult conversations with those who may not receive feedback well. Is it passive-aggressive? Is it fear of being misunderstood? Or is it simply poor communication? Join us as we break down real-life examples, talk about how to handle these moments with more clarity, and offer tools for healthier, more direct conversations.
