Criticism: When Needs Turn into Attacks

This episode explores Criticism: When Needs Turn Into Attacks, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and how it can quietly erode connection in relationships. We break down how criticism often masks deeper unmet needs, why it shows up as blame instead of vulnerability, and how shifting from attack to honest expression can completely change the way we’re heard, understood, and connected.
