The Map is Not the Territory – Why Relationship Conflict is Almost Always a Needs Mismatch
A client sits in my office, shoulders tight, jaw clenched. They’ve been in the same argument with their partner for years. Different words, different days, but the same ache. “They just don’t listen,” they say. “I’ve explained it a hundred times. Why can’t they understand?” I hear this often.
