"Constructive Criticism" is TOXIC in RELATIONSHIPS - FIND OUT WHY | The Truth from Dr. John Gottman
FULL TRANSCRIPT
we've discovered in our research is that
there's absolutely no such thing as
constructive
criticism anybody who gets put down
insulted treated with sarcasm or insults
or mockery actually gets more physically
ill over time it compromises the immune
system as well as being essentially
sulfuric acid for love so don't ever
think that criticism will be
constructive in instead talk about what
you
feel and what your positive need is in a
particular situation be really specific
and clear and talk about yourself don't
describe your partner because when you
do that you just invite defensiveness
into the conversation
