82: Fight Right: How to Have Healthy Conflict & Repair Relationships


Listen Later

Lots of people on the internet say that healthy conflict is important, but WTF does that actually mean? In this episode, we're breaking down what actually makes relationship repair possible—and why it requires way more nuance than viral self-help posts suggest. Skip to 8:45 to get to the meat of the episode.

In conversation, we tackle:
 • Why defensiveness kills relationships faster than almost anything else
 • How to actually sit with feedback you don't agree with 
 • The skill of allowing multiple truths to exist simultaneously—even when they contradict
 • Why being present and emotionally regulated matters more than being "right"
 • How to practice healthy conflict instead of avoiding it or bulldozing through it
 • The uncomfortable reality that you get better at conflict by actually doing it
 • Why curiosity about the other person's experience is more powerful than proving your point
