#1458 - Are Your Expectations Creating Frustration?

How often have you found yourself frustrated in your relationships, confused by unmet expectations, or tangled in the web of communication? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about transforming these challenges into opportunities for growth by employing emotionally mature communication and understanding the role of our core values. They discuss another key aspect of managing expectations and frustrations in relationships: empathy. Empathy allows us to understand and share the feelings of another person. It helps us to see things from their perspective and to understand why they may act in a certain way.
