Misunderstoond - How to handle unsolicited criticism - E207

Dr. JC was called a misogynist by someone who barely knew him. Instead of defending or dismissing it, he got curious. This episode breaks down how to handle labels using the Interface Response System, Whole-O-Graphic Vision, and the choice between being right and being kind.

Someone told me I was called a misogynist. Not a stranger's opinion I could shrug off — someone who'd formed a real judgment about who I am. And it caught me off guard, because it felt nothing like how I see myself. My first instinct was to defend myself. My second instinct was to dismiss them. But then I went... Hmmm. Because if I'm asking all of you to stay curious and question your conditioned interpretations, shouldn't I be willing to question mine — especially about myself? Today, we're talking about what to do when someone hands you a label you don't recognize.
