Today, we're taking a cue from relationship guru John Gottman, exploring the Four Horsemen of the Communication Apocalypse - Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling. These toxic communication patterns can wreak havoc on even the strongest relationships, leading to emotional disconnect and lasting damage. Remember, conflicts aren't about winning or losing, but rather nurturing love and connection. So, let's strive to communicate with empathy, seeking common ground and understanding.  Listen in and determine which horse you ride and phrases to use to restore health to conflict.
