The Psychology of Relationships: How Your Brain Warps Reality
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most of us believe we’re reacting to what’s happening in our relationships.
But we’re not.
We’re reacting to what we think is happening.
In this episode, Tara sits down with therapist Hattie to explore the psychology behind how our brains distort reality — and how those distortions are shaping our relationships, reactions, and sense of self.
They break down:
- Why two people can experience the same moment completely differently
- How past experiences create “lenses” that warp how we interpret others
- The difference between what actually happened vs. what your brain decided it meant
- Why conflict isn’t the problem — but how we interpret it is
- How cognitive distortions keep us stuck in the same patterns
This conversation goes beyond surface-level advice.
It’s about understanding the hidden mental processes that influence:
how you love, how you communicate, and how you see yourself in relation to others.
If you’ve ever felt like:
“I don’t understand why I reacted that way”
or
“Why does this keep happening in my relationships?”
This episode will give you the clarity — and language — to start seeing things differently.
