Can relationship conflicts be navigated successfully, even when they're inevitable? Join us on the Emotions Untapped podcast as we sit down with Risa Ganel, a licensed clinical couple and family therapist, to uncover the truths about managing emotional responses during conflicts. Risa breaks down the root causes of many disagreements, revealing that they often arise from a lack of being heard and understood. We explore the importance of emotional intelligence and self-awareness in nurturing healthier relationships.

Ever wondered why some conflicts leave lasting resentments? This episode categorizes conflict styles into four distinct quadrants, helping you identify your own and your partner's behaviors during times of tension. Risa shares how understanding these styles can empower you to break free from unhelpful cycles learned in your family, and create more effective ways of relating. The insights shared here are pivotal for anyone looking to enhance their conflict resolution skills and foster more harmonious relationships.

But how do you actually manage reactivity and maintain respect during a disagreement? Risa introduces techniques from relational life therapy that focus on self-regulation, addressing fears, and setting realistic expectations in long-term relationships. Learn how attachment styles intertwine with conflict styles, and why personal accountability can make all the difference. Tune in to discover practical strategies for working together against problems, not each other, and transforming your relationship dynamics for the better.
