Resolving Conflict in Relationships—with James Creighton
What causes conflict in relationships? For most of us, the tension comes from having very different experiences of the same event. But those alternative realities don’t have to break us apart. In fact, those contradictions can bring us closer together if we learn to express our experience in terms of feeling rather than judgement.
James Creighton is a psychologist and relationship consultant with 50-plus years of experience working with couples and conducting conflict resolution and communications skills training all over the world. He is the author of several books, most recently publishing Loving Through Your Differences, a guide to help couples find fulfillment THROUGH—rather than DESPITE—their differences.
On this episode, James joins Emerald to explain how conflict in his own marriage called him to the study of communication in relationships. He describes how each one of us interprets events in light of our own experience, resulting in contradictory realities. Listen in for insight around the danger of disowning your own experience and learn why it’s advantageous to express your feelings rather than make judgements.
