About this episode
Episode 292 explores a real-life conflict between Juliana and her husband, highlighting the role of empathy in resolving everyday disputes.
Episode 292 focuses on a real live interaction between Dr. B's cohost, Juliana, and Juliana's husband. This was one of those "every day, small conflicts" that arise in many of our households. However, what was different here was that empathy was thrown into the conflict and a strategy to meet everyone's needs was devised intentionally. This is a fun example of the stories we tend to cling onto in the midst of conflict and how empathy can dispel all of that.
