Why Does The Truth Feel Like An Attack

S2 EP 32 — WHY DOES THE TRUTH FEEL LIKE AN ATTACK? When Noticing Feels Like Criticism

Why is it SO hard to just tell ourselves the freaking truth sometimes?

And what happens when somebody ELSE points out something we don't really want to hear?

This week, Stefanie and John start with a stressful trip to the dentist, John's driving, bites, licks and tastes, and a comment Stefanie got years ago:

“Can somebody teach this lady how to use a camera?”

OOF.

Because sometimes the truth doesn't feel like information.

It feels like an attack.

And diet culture may have taught us exactly why.

For years, we learned to GRADE ourselves instead of LOOK at ourselves.

Didn't exercise? Lazy.

Scale went up? Failed.
