In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, I have a conversation with Zach Brittle, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and couple’s therapist certified in both Gottman Method Couple’s Therapy and Relational Life Therapy.

We focus on the two big areas that partners struggle with: what do you do when you disagree about parenting, and what do you do when one parent is highly reactive.

We talk about:

8:00 Sorting through different levels of disagreements between partners

11:00 Start by finding what you agree about/values/parenting goals

18:00 Explaining “Relational Life Therapy”

21:00 How “repair” is the goal in peaceful families

27:00 How to go into triggering conversations with our partners

30:00 Take care of yourself, so you can show up for your partner and kids

31:00 When one parent is more reactive than the other

36:00 What do you do if your partner won’t change?
