GITRMM ep 7: What Men Really Think When We Start To Process Out Loud

Episode Summary

Have you ever found yourself talking and processing your feelings out loud, only to feel like your man was backing away (quite literally in Lisa’s case) and inching their foot out the door?! This week, Lisa and Benjamin sit down to discuss what REALLY happens when a woman starts to process out loud. They talk about the different ways in which men and women process and how we can best serve one another's needs. Lisa also shares how to ground yourself in your body and emotions, instead of getting stuck overthinking. Plus, a humorous piece on the different narratives going on in both a woman's and a man’s mind on a date!

• How can over-processing in dating and relationships hinder us and cause such high expectations that lead to disappointment?
