EP 11: Why Couples Get Stuck In The Same Arguments


Listen Later

Hey folks!


In this episode of the I AM Podcast, I explore why couples often fall into the same unhealthy communication patterns without even realizing it.

Using ideas from transactional analysis, I break down the three ego states we all move between Parent, Adult, and Child, and how these roles shape the way we interact in relationships.


When partners unconsciously fall into Parent–Child dynamics, arguments can start to feel scripted, predictable, and impossible to escape. But when we learn to recognize the roles we're playing, we can begin shifting toward healthier adult-to-adult communication.


If your relationship conflicts sometimes feel like the same conversation on repeat, this episode will help you understand why and how to change the pattern.
