Please share your thoughts, feedback, and questions. I would love to hear from you.Navigating emotional hurt in relationships requires understanding the complex dance between our inner worlds and interpersonal dynamics. When your partner's words sting, there's often more happening beneath the surface than meets the eye. The concept of emotional projection transforms how we interpret relationship pain. Your partner's criticisms, accusations, or dismissals frequently reflect their own unresolved issues rather than your shortcomings. By recognizing this psychological mechanism, you can avoid taking hurtful interactions personally while maintaining presence and compassion during difficult conversations.What makes this exploration particularly fascinating is the electromagnetic component of our interactions. Beyond words and body language, relationships operate within energetic fields where emotions create tangible atmospheres. This invisible dynamic explains why some connections feel instantly comfortable while others generate tension despite pleasant conversation. Understanding these energy patterns helps interpret what's truly happening when communication breaks down.Healing hurt feelings demands practical skills: using "I statements" to express pain without blame, choosing appropriate timing for sensitive discussions, asking open-ended questions that invite honest sharing, and practicing reflective listening that validates your partner's experience. These techniques create safe spaces where both partners can express vulnerability without fear of judgment or retaliation.The path forward requires patience, diplomatic communication, and sometimes professional guidance. By approaching relationship challenges as opportunities for deeper understanding and connection rather than battles to be won, couples transform pain into growth.

Send us a textIf you've ever struggled with mismatched desires, defining commitment with a partner, or navigating the messier side of non-monogamy — this episode is for you.In this candid conversation, I talk with Dr. Tammy Nelson, sexologist, therapist, TEDx speaker, and author of Open Monogamy. With 35+ years of experience working with couples in both monogamous and open relationships, Tammy brings a nuanced lens to everything from sexual boredom and emotional disconnection to jealousy, relationship fatigue, and the evolving nature of commitment.We explore:Why mismatched desires and “monogamy gaps” show up even in non-monogamyHow open relationships can become more intimate — not less — when built on clarityTools for navigating jealousy, initiating hard conversations, and honoring shifting needsThe danger of jumping to a solution before naming the real problemWhy fantasy, communication, and appreciation matter more than frequency or rules

Please share your thoughts, feedback, and questions. I would love to hear from you.That crushing sensation when your partner hurts your feelings can leave you frozen between two equally destructive options: swallowing your pain until it poisons you from within, or unleashing an emotional tsunami that damages everything in its path. But what if there's a third way?Dr. Dar reveals a diplomatic approach to addressing hurt feelings that creates healing rather than more wounds. At the heart of relationship miscommunication is a critical distinction most couples miss – the difference between facts and stories. When your partner looks at their phone during your conversation, the fact is they broke eye contact for 30 seconds. Your story might be "I don't matter to them." Learning to separate these elements transforms how you handle emotional pain.Through practical self-reflection questions and real-world examples, you'll discover how current hurts often connect to unresolved past experiences. This podcast provides a step-by-step framework for processing feelings, identifying which of your five fundamental relationship needs isn't being met, and crafting clear requests that prevent future hurt. The most surprising insight? These transformative conversations can happen in under a minute once you master the structure.Whether you're currently nursing hurt feelings or want to prepare for inevitable future misunderstandings, this episode offers a relationship-saving approach that honors your emotions while creating deeper connection. Ready to turn relationship pain into an opportunity for growth?
