Q: What are some of the biggest mistakes couples make in conflict?

We're taking all your questions on our new ASK A COUNSELOR series!! We're doing this series because I wanted to introduce you to the Counselors from the Debra Fileta Counselors Network and get to know them the way I'm getting to know them!

Today's question comes from a woman who wants to know the mistakes we make when it comes to conflict. Conflict in a relationship is inevitable - so how do you deal with it in a healthy way? What are some signs you're not handling it well? What are some steps to take in the right direction instead?

You learn how to manage conflict by default - meaning, you do what you've seen done in the past, usually from your family of origin. But sometimes the way it's been modeled isn't the healthy way.

Today, I tag-team this question with Brad Aldrich (BOOK A SESSION WITH Brad).  Brad and I talk through a few mistakes we see people make in conflict, and then offer you practical advice on what to do instead!! Even if you're not in a romantic or marriage relationship, this is information you need to know because conflict comes up in all our relationships. And you have to know how to handle it and recognize the mistakes couples make in conflict.
