S4. E19-Ditch the Dichotomy: Embracing Complexity

Welcome to Reality Check! In this episode we discuss Salina's blog titled 'Ditch the Dichotomy.' We explore the concept of dichotomy and how it limits our understanding of complex emotions and experiences. We emphasize the importance of using the word 'and' instead of 'but' to create space for multiple emotions and validate different perspectives. Salina explains that this approach is derived from dialectical behavioral therapy. We also discuss how this concept applies to relationships and conflicts, highlighting the need to acknowledge and validate each other's feelings. Overall, the conversation encourages listeners to embrace the complexity of their emotions and experiences.
