Gay Men's Life Lab with Buck Dodson

Rupture and Repair: How to Handle Conflict in Your Relationships


Listen Later

Stop avoiding conflict and repair your relationship wounds. 

Conflict sucks. Nobody likes it, and we’d all avoid it if we could. But when we face it head on, conflict is healthy and helps us build trust. Since most of us were never taught how to handle conflict, this episode I'm talking about what to do if you keep arguing about the same issues in your relationships. I’m chatting about some of the skills you need to resolve conflicts: 

  • stop playing the blame game; 
  • take responsibility for your part; 
  • own your feelings; and 
  • get curious about what the other person feels.  

Check out this episode for practical ideas to move you guys out of rupture and into repair.
