Intention Matters More Than Words
About this episode
Dr. Margaret Paul discusses the importance of intentions in relationships and how they affect communication and connection.
Control creates stress, while being open to learning creates safety. Control blocks connection, while learning invites it. In today’s episode, Dr. Margaret Paul dives into the topic of intentions and how we can become more aware of the intentions we bring into our relationships. She highlights the two core intentions we can choose from—to control or to love—and how that choice shapes the quality of our connection with others. She walks through how intentions show up in the way we communicate, how they impact our relationships, and why it’s important to be clear about whether we are seeking help, understanding, or simply compassion. Dr. Paul also explores the power of active listening and how it helps create the safety and openness that allow genuine connection to flourish.
