Criticism vs. Complaint, this one difference could save your relationship

Not all feedback is harmful… but not all feedback is helpful either. In this episode, we’re setting the record straight on what criticism actually is (and what it’s not), especially in a space where social media often gets it wrong. Based on the work of John Gottman, we’re breaking down how criticism differs from a complaint and why that distinction matters more than you think. We’ll also explore how criticism impacts relationships over time, the attachment patterns often connected to it, and how early experiences can shape the way we communicate whether it was modeled for us or not. And most importantly, how to repair when criticism shows up… because it will. New episode drops this Thursday at 11AM.
