In this episode, we explore why empathy can sometimes feel fake, how your spouse’s emotions stir up emotions in you, and the subtle difference between holding space and simply trying to make the moment end. What looks like listening may actually be fixing, defending, or even overvalidating. So how do you stay present without becoming your spouse’s therapist, punching bag, or problem solver? The answer may change the way you handle emotional conversations.
