Hurt feelings in close relationships

DATE: September 17, 2020  12:30 pm via Zoom


 Professor Anita L. Vangelisti
Introduced by Lion Fred Jenga

Ever Been Hurt in a Close Relationship?

How do people hurt each other’s feelings via communication? How does hurt affect relationships?

Professor Anita Vangelisti will share with members the ways relational partners hurt one another, and the ways they respond to such hurt. Being hurt is an inevitable part of close relationships. What varies from relationship to relationship is not whether partners hurt each other, but how they hurt each other, how often they feel hurt, and how their relationship is affected by hurtful episodes.
