Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Someone comes to me with "it’s a disaster, he doesn’t respect me," and I just take their version at face value and start fixing
• Someone does one small thing and within seconds I’ve built a whole story about what it means
• The second they tell me how it felt, I jump straight to "but that’s not what actually happened"
• I’ve already tried and convicted them in my head over one thing they said, and I’m about to act on that verdict
• My instinct the second someone shares a problem is to start fixing it, and I’m learning that lands as me dismissing their feelings
