TBM 127 - Intentionally Not Hearing What Someone Is Saying
Feb 21, 2024 10:00 am
Good morning, friends!
I hope this newsletter finds you well.
I've been thinking lately about thoughts... meta, I know. I've been thinking about how our thoughts are not necessarily reality, yet they very much dictate our internal realities. What I mean is our thoughts are typically evaluations we make about what we observe, and they are not necessarily the truth.
And despite this, our thoughts control our internal experience - our feelings, our reactions - and this ends up being our reality.
I'll dive into this more in a blog sometime; or possibly a podcast episode with Dr. B. Are you intrigued? Is this little teaser titillating?! For now, please enjoy the other content we have for you.
🎙️ Podcast Episode 179: Intentionally Not Hearing What Someone Is Saying
A listener called in with a question about Marshall's quote regarding "not hearing what someone is saying." Better late than never, Dr. B and Heather do their best in taking on this subject. Listen in to Episode 179 to learn more.

TBM Blog Posts This Week
No new blog content this week. I've had a physically and emotionally taxing week and simply did not have it in me to write anything new. Instead, here is a recycled blog post that I quite like.
It can be really difficult to come back to connection with someone who you think is actively hurting, insulting, or disrespecting you. This blog post explores how to handle those situations using NVC (of course).
