385: Learn To Navigate Your Relationship Triggers Better

Listen Later

Conflict is inevitable in relationships. Couples in healthy relationships do not try to avoid conflict, they navigate conflict in productive and healthy ways instead. Listen to today's show to learn what to do when you or your partner are triggered, and how to navigate these situations in the best way possible. 

In this episode with Wendi Dumbroff, we discuss relationship advice topics that include:

  • The vulnerability cycle that can occur when one partner is triggered and how this can create a negative spiral of conflict
  • How to become aware of the cycles of fights you may be having in your relationship and navigate these conflicts better
  • The importance of understanding the why's of you and your partner's triggers
  • Understanding that we can't help what we feel, but we can help what we do with those feelings
  • Tools to listen and validate your partner's feelings and examine your own
  • How wounds from our family of origin affect how we show up in our relationships
  • And much more!
