In this eye-opening episode, Tony delves into the subtle but powerful difference between thoughts and feelings, revealing how this common confusion shapes our relationships in unexpected ways. • Through engaging stories from his therapy practice, Tony shows how something as simple as saying I feel like when we mean I think can accidentally put others on the defensive and hide our true emotions. You'll discover why that matters more than you might think - especially in your closest relationships. • Drawing from both clinical experience and relatable examples (including a story about forgotten tacos at a dinner party), Tony explores: • Why we often mask our true feelings behind thoughts • How childhood experiences shape our comfort with emotional expression • The surprising reason self-compassion feels threatening to many people • Practical ways to build a richer emotional vocabulary • Once you understand this pattern, you'll start noticing it everywhere - in your conversations, in others' speech, and maybe even in your own internal dialogue. Visit Tony's new website https://tonyoverbay.com for additional resources on emotional intelligence and join his Patreon community at / virtualcouch for exclusive content and Q A sessions where you can dive deeper into these insights. • This isn't just another episode about communication - it's about understanding why we hide our true feelings and how to finally express what we really mean. I hope you find it helpful, please have a good day! • Chapters: • 00:00 Welcome to The Virtual Couch! • 00:43 Introduction to Path Back Recovery • 01:19 New Website Social Media Updates • 03:06 Unseen Patterns Hidden Meanings • 05:49 Understanding Confirmation Bias • 08:09 Thoughts vs. Feelings: A Therapy Session • 17:29 Emotional Vocabulary Childhood Experiences • 23:19 Introduction to Nonviolent Communication • 23:27 Observations vs. Judgments • 23:37 Courtroom Drama Analogy • 24:44 Real-Life Relationship Scenarios • 27:15 Workplace Communication Examples • 29:37 The Taco Story • 34:56 Self-Compassion Criticism • 40:57 Final Thoughts Wrap-Up
