Have you ever said something and wished you could take it back? The reality is we can’t. Once something is said, intentionally or not, “it’s out there.” What we choose to say next, can mean the difference between eroding or repairing the relationship with the person or people who received your message. In this episode of “Asking For A Friend," TalkDoc, Meredith and Teighlor get candid about their own experiences saying words they wished they’d never said - and what happened next that made the situation worse or better. Along the way, TalkDoc uncovers common mis-steps we can all make and the negative impacts these mis-steps can produce. You’ll also hear practical strategies you can put to work right away that can bring healing power to your relationships when you find yourself in this situation. Music by Epidemic sound. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SHOW NOTES: EP 56 : You Can't Take it Back - How to Navigate What You Didn't Mean Experts : Stamp and Knapp (1990), Jonathan D.
