Listen Later

What's up, everybody! Welcome to episode 17 of The Attachment Confessions!

On today's episode, we're diving into a topic that is a major factor in either making or breaking a relationship – how couples handle conflict. 

Fights. Arguments. Tension. Disagreements. Misunderstandings. All-out war. 

There are few things more dreaded in life than when there's trouble in paradise. Chances are, you're a lot like me – AKA you've been an absolute train wreck at handling conflict in your relationships. 

Conflict. Is. Inevitable. But a primary element that sets secure couples apart from the insecures is that they've mastered the art of effective conflict management. 

So today, we're taking a look at the tactics secure couples swear by when it comes to handling the hard times the best way possible.

Whether you're an Anxious Preoccupied, a Dismissive Avoidant, or a fellow {healing} Fearful Avoidant, we could all stand to learn a thing or two when it comes to dealing with discord in a more healthy, mature, secure manner. And this week's episode is sure to set you on a path to handling the dreaded C word like a champ!

As mentioned in today's episode, here is a link to attachment expert Dr. Sarah Hensley's "Achieving Your Attachment Security" online coaching program. In this program, Dr. Hensley provides her step-by-step no-fail conflict resolution plan. I wish I had this plan in my former relationships!! I will definitely be using it moving forward.
