We often rush to offer solutions when a loved one expresses emotional distress, not because we don't care, but because it's uncomfortable to witness pain—both theirs and our own. While advice and plans may seem helpful, skipping over empathy and validation can make others feel dismissed or misunderstood. In this episode, the hosts unpack why we default to fixing and offer tools to slow down, connect emotionally first, and ask what support is actually needed.

In this episode, we cover <a href="https://relationshippod.com/">topics</a> such as:
- Fixing as a Coping Strategy
- Forms of Fixing
- Impact of Fixing
- What to Do Instead
- And more!
