About this episode
How many of your encounters ended badly because of misunderstood words? I bet it's way too many. It's really true that your words matter. When you have to add, "I'm just messing with you," or," Just kidding, Sheesh!" the damage of your words to your partner has already been done. In the following, I offer insight into how and why your words matter and also how you can be clear and specific to avoid hurt feelings. More is available in my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life. You can find it on amazonbooks.com at
