Heal Your Relationships

The 6 Phrases that Poison Relationships and What to Say Instead


Listen Later

Have the past few years been tough on your relationship?

Have you found yourself in long, relentless arguments with your partner whereby you can no longer think compassionately?


Not to worry, you’re not alone.


In this episode, I unpack six of the most common phrases that poison relationships – and explore alternative responses that ultimately cause less hurt —without losing our truth.


From “You always...” to “Whatever you want,” I will dive into what’s really going on underneath those hurtful patterns.


💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why “Why?” shuts people down—and what to ask instead


  • What to do when you feel overwhelmed or shut down


  • How to drop blame and speak from self-awareness


  • And how curiosity can turn any tough moment into connection


Let us look at what is underneath the hurt and resentment, and explore how our feelings shut down when we become emotionally overwhelmed.


✨ Because... it’s not about saying the perfect thing—it’s about staying connected to yourself and each other.


“Keep your cool, hold onto your truth, and don’t just take on your partner’s ‘why?’ Stay steady within and think: what does this signify? Gently, lovingly, say: ‘I would love to share ‘why’. Do you have some time? Are you really asking and would you really like to know?’ Then your partner is bound to have a curiosity-based conversation.”
