Insist That We Should Both Agree on Their Version of What Happened?

How is it that two people could remember an event so differently, and both be so sure that their version is right? Why is it so hard to take in when someone suggests that our memory of something isn’t true? How can it be that two people can both be right about a memory, and at the same time both be wrong? On today’s episode of WDMP, we’ve got a few answers for you, plus a suggestion for how you can start to guide yourself out of this stuck place and into greater intimacy in your relationship.

Quotes:

“The truth is, no one is actually totally right, and everyone is probably a little bit right.”

“Embrace the nature of the differences in the way we see reality. To try to get that not to happen…is a recipe for pain.”

“We can’t rely on memory as fact.”
