It moves quickly into an old pattern many of us carry... shaping what we say, holding things back and managing conversations so nobody gets upset.</p><p>Then there's the weird guilt that sits underneath it, often for things we haven't actually done wrong.</p><p>From there, the conversation turns to something Scott's been practising more deliberately: trusting a feeling in his body over the endless planning and strategising in his head. </p><p>A gut sense of yes or no that doesn't always make logical sense, but that he's learning to say out loud anyway, especially with the people he cares about most.</p><p>In this episode:</p><ul><li>The pattern of managing conversations to avoid upsetting someone.</li><li>Unearned guilt and the courtroom analogy that's stuck with Scott for weeks.</li><li>What it takes to practise honesty in a relationship instead of managing the outcome.</li><li>Learning to trust a gut feeling that makes no logical sense.</li><li>Choosing love over fear, one decision at a time.</li></ul><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy the episode and leave a comment if any of this chat resonated. </p><p><a href="https://rickwatson.com.au" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Connect with Rick </a></p><p></p>
