Welcome back to Mr. and Mrs. Therapy, the podcast that delves into turning life's challenges into avenues for growth and healthier connections. In this episode, your hosts, licensed marriage and family therapists Tim and Ruth Olson, delve into the dynamics of communication within relationships, particularly focusing on recurring conflicts.

Are you and your partner repeatedly arguing over seemingly trivial issues like chores or phone usage? Tim and Ruth unravel the true nature of these conflicts, revealing that beneath the surface lies a deeper story or unmet emotional need. Together, they guide listeners through recognizing when they're arguing over the 'surface' and how to identify the underlying 'story' that fuels these debates.

The episode provides practical steps to pause, reflect, and communicate effectively, transforming potential arguments into opportunities for understanding and connection. By examining real-life examples and offering strategies to reframe conversations, Tim and Ruth empower couples to explore and address the emotional narratives that impact their relationships.

Whether you're winding down from a long day or navigating through emotional storytelling, join the conversation that encourages healing, empathy, and lasting love.
