Tuesday Truth: Breaking Free from Rigidi...

Rose Skeeters
About this episode

Are You Stuck in Black-and-White Thinking?

Let’s Talk About It.

If you struggle with intense emotions, fear of abandonment, or difficulty navigating relationships, you might also feel trapped in rigid thinking patterns—the kind that say, “If they really loved me, they wouldn’t have done that” or “If things don’t go exactly how I expect, it means everything is falling apart.”

In this episode, we dive into:

  • Why rigidity can make relationships feel unstable or overwhelming
  • How black-and-white thinking creates emotional distress
  • The power of psychological flexibility in handling rejection, conflict, and uncertainty
  • Practical ways to loosen control and trust the process


Relationships don’t have to feel like an all-or-nothing battle. When you learn to shift from certainty to curiosity, from control to connection, and from fear to self-compassion, you can create a life where love and trust feel safer.

Tune in to discover how embracing gray areas can help you build stronger relationships, reduce emotional distress, and find peace within yourself.

👉 Listen now and take the first step toward breaking free from rigidity!
