In this episode of The Voyage Cast, host and therapist Eddie Eccker explores how the need to be “right” in your relationship might be quietly sabotaging your connection. If you’ve ever walked away from an argument feeling victorious but emotionally distant, this one’s for you. Eddie unpacks how our obsession with being right often stems from deeper fears—like being misunderstood, blamed, or unseen—and how those fears can lead us to build walls instead of bridges. You’ll learn what happens in the brain during conflict, why logic alone doesn’t restore closeness, and how simple shifts like curiosity, vulnerability, and ownership can bring real healing. Whether you’re married, dating, or just want to communicate better, this episode is a practical, heartfelt invitation to choose connection over control—and to risk being real instead of just being right.
