Women are Crazy - a man's perspective
Manage episode 420591125 series 3442369
In this episode, I explore the common perception among men that women are "crazy," focusing on the root causes of this belief. As a couples counselor, I've identified five key areas where men and women differ significantly: comfort with expressing emotions, verbal communication styles, stress responses, risk aversion, and multitasking abilities. Understanding these differences can help both men and women improve their relationships by fostering better communication and empathy.
Throughout the podcast, I discuss how men can develop coping mechanisms to manage these differences and how women can explain their perspectives to their partners. By shedding light on these gender-specific behaviors, my aim is to reduce tension and promote harmony in relationships, ultimately preventing misunderstandings and conflicts that often arise from these fundamental differences.
