Why People Hear What They Already Believe | Communication Signals Atlas - Episode 5

Описание: Why do people misunderstand even clear messages — especially when the stakes are high?

In this episode of Communication Signals Atlas, we uncover the hidden psychological filters that decide what gets through, what gets distorted, and what never arrives at all.

This isn’t about speaking better.
It’s about understanding why words don’t go straight into the mind — they pass through belief, identity, and bias first.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover three invisible signals shaping every conversation:

🔹 Signal 1 — Filters Shape Meaning

People do not hear words.
They hear what fits their expectations.
Cognitive biases silently edit every message before it reaches awareness — meaning is constructed, not received.

🔹 Signal 2 — Beliefs Override Words

What people already believe determines what they accept.
Strong beliefs bend interpretation, reject contradictions, and protect identity — even when evidence is right in front of them.

🔹 Signal 3 — You Must Speak to Their Frame

Messages only land when they match the listener’s lens.
Framing decides how the same words feel, and misaligned frames trigger resistance instead of understanding.
