Month 8, Ep. 32 | Feedback, Defensiveness, & Repair

Month 8 of The Conscious Kinky Podcast: Impact is about exploring the difference between what we mean to do and how we are actually experienced by others — and developing the maturity to get honest about both. Week 3 | Feedback, Defensiveness, & Repair asks: can you stay open when someone tells you the truth about how you affected them? This week explores what gets activated when we receive hard feedback — and what it actually takes to repair, not just apologize. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔎 PREPARE FOR TUESDAY'S LIVE CONVERSATION 🕘 Tuesdays at 7PM ET on Zoom ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Set 1 — Awareness & Orientation 1. What is my first internal reaction when someone gives me feedback? 2. What defensive pattern do I use most often? 3. Where do I confuse being "called-in" with being rejected? 4. What kind of feedback is hardest for me to receive? Set 2 — Integration & Reflection 1. What would it look like to listen before defending myself? 2. What repair have I delayed because I didn't know how to face the discomfort? 3. What sentence could help me stay present during feedback? 4. What would meaningful repair look like beyond saying "I'm sorry"? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ ABOUT CONSCIOUS CONVERSATIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Conscious Conversations is a live, fully online, guided conversation space for honest conversations about identity, sexuality, and relationships — every Tuesday from 7PM–8:30PM EST. ⚠️ Please watch Episode 32 | Feedback, Defensiveness, & Repair before entering the online room.
