In Episode 314 of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we tackle the common but often overlooked habit of taking things personally in marriage. This conversation explores the psychological concept of personalization—interpreting your partner's words or actions as direct reflections on you—and how it can lead to unnecessary conflict and emotional distance. Through thoughtful reflection questions, practical strategies, and insights from past episodes and key book chapters, the hosts guide listeners toward emotional balance, intentional trust, and deeper communication. Learn how to pause before reacting, seek clarity instead of assuming, and build self-awareness to shift from defensiveness to curiosity. Whether you're navigating everyday disagreements or deeper relational struggles, this episode offers tools to strengthen your marriage by staying grounded in your own identity and understanding your partner with compassion.
