Lesson Overview

2.39 – How to Express Hurt Without Shutting Down: Sharing pain requires courage and emotional balance. Instead of withdrawing, express hurt through gentle honesty. Saying “That comment made me feel distant” invites understanding rather than conflict. It keeps vulnerability alive instead of burying it under silence. Shutting down may protect pride but it isolates hearts. Expressing hurt respectfully allows healing to begin. When partners speak pain with compassion, they rebuild emotional safety. Openness transforms wounds into opportunities for connection. Honest expression brings clarity, closure, and renewed trust.
