And then if she starts giving me, yeah, but that doesn't work because of this and that, then I know she actually needs validation.

Yeah, I think there definitely can be. I think as parents, we're often equal offenders, although just women tend to pivot more quickly. They can see it, but they'll also often open with problem solving. The really interesting thing that I have found in my practice, so there's an emotional intelligence quality to some of this that you've hit at.

The higher your EQ, presumably the easier this would be. And that is and it isn't true. So oftentimes, I'll have couples come to me wanting couples therapy. And again, if it's a very stereotypical, perhaps more patriarchal relationship, the woman presents as more emotionally intelligent. And the male partner is just like, all right, well, this is what we need to fix.

And how long is this going to be? And what's your fee? When I start teaching them validation, though, The person who is more emotionally intelligent is like, yeah, no, I got this. Yeah, this makes perfect sense to me. And so they don't pay attention as much, take notes, and then practice. Their partner, however, if this isn't coming naturally, they do tend to try harder at it.

And at the end of, say, 12 weeks, the better validator tends to be the person who worked harder at it, more so than the person with a high EQ, which is really interesting. Just because you're sensitive, that doesn't mean that you're equally skilled at communicating that sensitivity in a way that resonates. And that's what these skills do. We've narrowed this down. This is a science.

We know how to convey that message really effectively. And again, just because you're emotionally intelligent doesn't mean that you've dialed that in. And so interestingly enough, yeah, I think it doesn't really matter how kind of problem-solving centric you are so long as you make... Now, if both partners were to try equally hard, yeah, the EQ person's going to come out on top. They will.
